Claimed refund for a event that changed date and location. Got told refund within 30 days Still not received money back Awful company sent email asking what's going on and when will I get money back, no response. Will be contacting ombudsman
I ordered tickets to Newbury summerfest and the event was cancelled, they offered a refund which I accepted, this was in the middle of May. I have contact xplosive events a number of times about this and had no response they just keep sending me replacement tickets for an event that has passed. I have emailed, left voicemails and had nothing back. Avoid this company, I will now be contacting my bank.
Still waiting for a refund for an event that was cancelled! Mid May I responded to the initial email requesting full refund! We were told it would be refunded within 30 days. Its now July and still no sign of a refund. Please DO NOT book with this company!!!
Been following Xplosive Events around then UK watching their displays and enjoying their events. The time, efforts and creativity that goes into each one is unbeaten! Abingdon fireworks is my all time favourite with their immersive display, it’s one not to be missed. Highly recommend!

Attended last year and had to come back. This year was even better! Can’t wait to return for many more years.

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how well everything was set up. The fireworks were simply mesmerising, lighting up the sky in perfect harmony with the music. The crowd was well managed, and there were plenty of food and drink options. We are already looking forward to next year.

The fireworks show was truly one of the best, with stunning effects and a perfect soundtrack. The event was well organised, making it easy to enjoy without any hassle. Food stalls provided plenty of tasty options, and the atmosphere was filled with excitement and joy.

Have been wanting to write this review for a long time but its been a hard year full of trauma and death which is why this review is even more poignant and special to me. This company always gets such a bad wrap for the parking at the fireworks shows but its not about the parking its about the fireworks display and bonfire show and spectacle that they create for people to enjoy. The ABINGDON BONFIRE & FIREWORKS display in November 2024 was the most spectacular and moving fireworks display I have ever seen in my life. And i have seen many all around the world. Was like standing underneath exploding stars and planets. It lit up the night sky like daylight. Goosebumps and so so emotional. The music choice was fantastic and went with the fireworks show. Even included some Tomorrowland tracks which i was also lucky to attend the same year so had such a personal impact on me. So special having this memory to share with my son. Karl Mitchell-Shead the director is a genius. Truly original best indescribably spectacular, moving, unforgettable fireworks display and amazing bonfire show. If you don't experience you will never know or understand. Will be back every single year. Thank you Xplosive Events was like nothing I’ve ever experienced on earth.

£84 for a family of four for entry , I’m not entirely sure what that fee was for as everything inside we paid for anyway ! Which yes you expect to pay a bit more some of the prices were just ridiculous! Couldn’t see the monster trucks so moved on . Street performers were listed , fire breathing etc didn’t catch a glimpse of any ! Wouldn’t return there were many festivals on at the same time for free entry that topped this by the looks of it !
