Took my grandchildren to see the monster trucks however one was queuing for 3 hours to ride on one and the other could not see the show as so many adults stood in front of her so was unable to see them, if it wasn’t for the monster trucks doing an extra show in the evening my grandchildren wouldn’t have seen them, selfish people laying their blankets out in front of fence taking up so much room and stopping other from watching the show!!
Drinks, ice creams and foods overpriced. Take your own!!
On a positive note it was well organised and a fab day had by all.

Weak show. Overpriced And nothing really to Watch. Never again. Wasted time And money.

The entrance tickets were fairly expensive. I was expecting that to be the case because it was advertised as a monster truck show. The monster truck show was not that great. Really cool machines and awesome to look at, but there were only two in the show, they were really old and the just drove over a line of cars and that was it. There was another pair the doing passenger rides that were doing way more than the ones in the show. Unfortunately the queue for the passenger ride was over 2 hours, all day. My child just couldn't wait in a queue that long so we missed out. The motocross was absolutely amazing. That should have been the main advertising point really, they were great. Lots of big stunts and two long shows despite the dangerous conditions.
The fair was an absolute scandal. Rides were £2 each at the start which is about average about fairs these days (still slightly overpriced considering the length of ride and the sheer volume of custom they get). But after lunch, some of the rides went up to £6 each! Outrageous. Don't get me wrong, the rides were amazing, but considering the amount of people there, they probably would have got more customers with cheaper rides. Maybe if the event had not charged them to be there, seeing as though the revenue from the door must have been huge it could have been more beneficial to the customers. Food stalls were plenty and varied and normal event prices so that was not too bad and to be expected. More seating for eating and chilling would have been nice, instead of selling overpriced seats on site which is a bit naughty. It is supposed to be a family event for children too. Overall it was really good experience, but it ended up costing more than a theme park but with way less stuff. The live music was good (for the adults. Not sure the children are into ska and the Worzels). Never saw the alcohol prices, queues were just too long.

This was our first time and although we were among those that fell for the smart advertising, it failed to deliver. The monster truck broke down 3mins into the first show which was hugely disappointing with no contingency plan in place. The entrance fee is astronomical for what was essentially a standard county field fair with over priced fair rides. The one thing we enjoyed was the helicopter simulator which was badly advertised, if at all, and we only came across it because we thought it was a toilet. Nonetheless, the simulator was great and instructed by a very engaging member of staff. The motocross was enjoyed by the children but again, all in all, absolutely not worth the entrance fee considering that all attractions have an additional premium price attached to them.

We had a fantastic time at Springfest on Sat 13 April. Well organised, lovely family event, traffic well directed coming in & leaving. Weather was perfect too & entertainment was varied . Security when we mislaid our 2yr old Grandson we’re brilliant too!

Awesome day out for the family. My kids loved the arena shows and the variety of food and drink traders was fantastic!

Personally I feel like the ticket prices were a bit steep for what it was! We had to wait 2.5hours for a monster truck ride, the food/fuunfair in general did cost a lot of money! Very expensive day out and wouldn’t particularly think it was worth it, would have been nice if there was more stalls as there was only a few. And if the toilets weee spread out not only at the front gates !

The kids enjoyed themselves, but both the park entry fee and the high ride prices were a letdown. It'd be fairer if all rides were £2.00 for the whole visit, not just the first two hours. Overall, this year's experience was disappointing.

Myself and my two children took a trip up to abingdon last weekend to see Xplosive events Spring fest.

We had such a great time with a great mix of entertainment and excitement to keep both my kids (5 and 9) engaged all day.

As soon as we left they were both asking when can we go again, so of course we will be going to the Newbury summer fest in July without fail !!

Loved springfest! The monster trucks were a massive hit with the kids. We had the best day!!!

Great fireworks. Kids loved it. Thoroughly recommend this team!

Great family day out!
Lots of entertainment for the kids and the older lot, there was something for all! And the food was great too!

Awesome event and really looking forward to the summer fest in a couple of months!

What a fantastic event and the added bonus of some British sunshine, lots on offer we took a picnic so we could make the most of the day and enjoy it. Looking forward to the next one :-)

Went to see the Monster Trucks but the show was pretty poor, not much happened and it was almost impossible to see it.
11/2 hour queue to ride on a monster truck is ridiculous and £10 each including under 4’s is very expensive.
Food poor quality and very expensive, £18 for 2 small portions of chips and a burger!
Won’t be back!

Absolutely fantastic, great show/event. I only wish we could have stayed a little longer. The weather was fantastic, the only thing I could fault was the sheer expense but given the economy I would say these small travelling businesses need it. The problem with charging more is less people buy and the people who do (like me) pay or buy less. Other than that, thoroughly enjoyed the event!

It was a very fun family day out. I gave 4 stars becuase I believe you could do a seperate section for the autistic kids that are sensitive to noises.

Great experience, good organisation.

Well for the price of the tickets and no concession for seniors I was so looking forward to attending the show with my family for a well earned day out. Sad to say it was a let down due to only one monster truck working and going over a few cars my grandsons were so excited but they even said was that it.Stunt bikes were good but could of done more. Very over priced helicopter rides. 2 hour wait for a ride on a monster truck. The fair prices were ridiculous. Not many stalls when there was loads of room for more. Food typically expensive. We sadly gave up waiting for another 2 hours to see the Wurzels when we were all looking forward to seeing them but we had walked round so many times, the boys were bored and we had enough.
Improvements are to be made to make this worth while going again.

Love these events. Had previously been to Henley Summerfest last year so booked again but had to move tickets to the Abingdon Springfest which didn’t disappoint! Slightly wind it being on an airfield but show were great! Monster trucks were brilliant despite the 2 hour queue to ride one! Great event for all the family!

We went to see the monster trucks. Sadly they had no seating for the show, and as everyone was stood at the same level, only the people at the front fence could see. So we could hear the show but not see it.
Everything was a bit pricey, but is to be expected from a festival. The music and children’s entertainers were fab! And was a good all round day. Sadly not being able to see the shows was a bit of a disappointment.
