The price of entry does not correlate with the fact you’re spending a minimum of £150 when you get inside, that’s for a small family. The description is very misleading. It is not an event I will be returning to.
We went to the summerfest today - £75 for a family of 4 We only went for the monster trucks, despite having my son on my shoulders, we couldn't see anything, the crowds were ridiculous. So we walked round £6 face paint each £ 7.50 per pint £4 fair ground ride each £6 for 10 minutes for bouncy castles £13 each for small fish and chips If you are a working family, this is not a value for money place, we were charged for everything possible. Lots of other places, even the theme parks are cheaper!
If you haven’t been to an Xplosive Event yet, you’re missing out. Hands down, the best night of the year.
This event had everything: a funfair, food, live entertainment, and a breathtaking fireworks finale. Well done!
Not just fireworks, an entire evening of entertainment. The fairground, the music, the atmosphere… all incredible.
The scale of this event was unbelievable. It felt like watching a live-action movie with stunning special effects.
Everything was great! Apart from the extortionate prices of the fair ground £5 per person per ride is just too much! And greedy
Every firework was stunning, and the crowd energy made it even better.
There was supposed to be a helicopter and balloon but the wind was so strong that I think these attractions were not included anymore, unfortunately I did not see any information or updates on this from the organisers. Everything was quite expensive. The kids will have fun because it is a fair but overall it is overpriced, not greatly organised, the bands are bad - keep the volume a bit down if the sound is so off it would have helped.
We went as a family of 7 including children. The cost was almost £200 for what ended being just a glorified fun fair you get in your local town (which you don’t pay entrance for). The tributes were subpar talent, in all honesty, I could sing better than that. The monster truck show was subpar and so short and it was so difficult to see as it was basically standing around a fence and already with 2-3 rows of people you could hardly see anything which was really disappointing. The tricks were so minimal I could’ve just watched the American monster trucks at home and be more entertained. I think if the event had cost less I wouldn’t be complaining but it was a huge cost at £34 pp for something that doesn’t deliver PLUS you have to pay for EVERYTHING in there including the rides, the monster truck rides etc. If I knew in advance and had read reviews in advance I wouldn’t have spent my hard earned money on something that didn’t leave me excited to go again the year after
Brought my little ones, and they had the time of their lives! The event was safe, fun, and full of excitement. Will be attending again!
Gorgeous display, well-managed crowd, and an exciting ambiance. Would love to go again.
I have attended many firework events, but this one was on another level. The synchronisation of fireworks with the music was spot on, creating a magical experience. The whole event was well planned, from parking to crowd management. It was a night filled with fun, excitement, and beautiful lights in the sky.
I would love to say that this is the perfect event for the family but the awful organisation ( or lack of) of the car parking made us never want to to go back. It was bad enough to have to queue for 2 hrs to get into the event but the shambles in the carpark at the end was shocking. No car parking stewards in sight, no organisation. Absolute bedlam. Do not go to this event until the organisers have a professional car parking team in place. Shame as the fireworks were great but would never go again.
Xplosive Events knows how to put on a show! The fireworks were some of the best I’ve ever seen, and the entire event was professionally run. Great job!
Beautiful colours and flawless synchronisation with music. Well-organised event with great food options.
Attended with my family, and we were blown away! The attention to detail in the fireworks, the timing with the music, and the overall atmosphere made this an unforgettable night.
SpringFest 2024 was amazing! The monster trucks were a huge hit, and the kids had a blast on the fairground rides. The food was fantastic, and the fireworks finale was perfect. We’re already looking forward to next year’s event!
Such an exciting day out at SpringFest! The motorbike stunts, live music, and delicious food made for a memorable family experience. A few hiccups with parking, but the amazing fireworks display more than made up for it.
Wow, just wow! The bonfire was massive, and the fireworks felt like something out of a movie. Perfect for families, especially with the quieter opening show for kids. I’m already excited to attend more Xplosive Events in the future!
