Xplosive Events Reviews 

Me and my family attended the South Cerney Spooktacular event. It was amazing! Parking was easy and well organised, and food and drink were reasonably priced with plenty of options to choose from.
There were 3 fireworks events, one for the younger children, the main event and one when the bonfire was lit.
The monster truck experience was great!
The DJ played great tunes and got everyone involved.
Highly recommended next year, we will definitely be booking up again. 😁

We arrived early so was parked close to the entrance, rides was fun, the monster truck ride was brilliant, the fireworks were probably the best we've ever seen, and the dj was awesome! Really had the best day with grandkids and family! Will definitely do it again

The best event 💯 recommend

simple just grate night fire works amazing defo next year we will be there
dad and 8 years old son recommended 100%

Awesome. First time at this event and it was great. Firework show was spectacular

We normally go to Abingdon fire works but as the date this year falls when we are busy, we decided to try cerney. Upon arrival we could see that it was set up similar to Abingdon. The display was slightly shorter but the pyrotechnics was second to none. And we found the traffic management to be amazing and we was straight in and straight out and peak time. Much better set up that Abingdon. We have now decided that we will do south cerney every year brilliant set up brilliant display.

Amazing display, fantastic commentary and great organisation! The parking was well orchestrated and it was a fabulous evening. One of the best displays I have been too and I will be going again next year!
Thanks again.🎇🎆

We went to the fireworks at South Cerney. It was a fabulous fireworks display, the best we have seen in a long time. Great choreography to the music, filling the sky, a really great display. We will come again next year.
We had no issues with parking or driving to the venue. The fun fair had some great rides.

100% going again next year it was well organised no traffic issues at all straight in and straight out the show was phenomenal by far the best show I've ever been to and can't wait for next year

Attended the South Cerney Spooktacular event, and WOW an atmosphere. No issues with parking, plenty of funfair rides and food/drink stalls. The monster truck ride was a blast. The firework display could have gone on a little longer maybe 30 mins.
The only criticism I have was they said gates open at 2pm but had to stand around another hour before let in and there was no toilets whilst waiting until we complained then one was brought down, maybe next year have 2 toilets by entrance.
All staff/helpers polite and helpful.
Well done , we look forward to what you have on offer next year.

Great night fireworks were fantastic! The parking this year was so much better didnt que at all, and went in peak time!

Went to the South Cerney Spooktacular Fireworks and they were the best I have seen outside of Disneyland, Florida!! It was really well organised, loads of fairground rides and food stalls. The fireworks themselves were spectacular, even the children’s display. Well worth the money. Getting out was no problem, took just a couple of minutes to leave the site. My only slight criticism is that the main display did not last long enough, it was 10 minutes late starting and only lasted 15 minutes. Even 5 minutes longer would have been enough.

Fantastic firework display wonderfully coordinated with music, best display I have ever been to and at 69 years old I have been to plenty.

First time going to south cerney air field display roads were sign posted so was easy to find parking, the cue was standard very organised on where we was to park, plenty of staff guiding traffic, the night was fab the kids enjoyed making me skint on fair ground rides . The dj guy was funny entertaining and engaging and both fire work displays was absolutely fantastic best I’ve been too and definitely won’t be going to any different ones as it will be hard to top!! Defo recommended for a fun family day/evening out

We went to South Cerney,
We had the best time we never thought it was going to be as big as it was. The fireworks were amazing never gonna go to a different event again looking forward to next years now. The dj was great loved the 80s song in drum and bass that was amazing he was so funny as well. Literally amazing night thank you

Visited the event at South Cerney this weekend (31 October 2026).

The fireworks and musical accompaniment were magnificent for both the displays (the earlier ‘quiet’ one for children and the later ‘noisy’ one for adults).

Particular thanks to the wonderful event marshals in their high-vis jackets who formed clear pathways for cars exiting the grounds, illuminating the route with highly visible fluorescent wands.

Well worth the money!

Fantastic event, the fireworks were exceptional. The synchronised timing with the music was breathtaking. Really one of the best displays I've been to. Thank you.

Best fireworks I've ever seen, fantastic food selection, brilliant for all the family.
Both firework shows were a 10/10. Cannot wait for next year

Me and my girlfriend had an absolutely amazing night at South Cerney Spooktacular 2026! The fireworks display was incredible and lit up the entire sky. The bonfire was brilliant too, and it was genuinely amusing watching them come up with such a unique and entertaining way of lighting it using fireworks!

There was such a great choice of food stands, with plenty of variety, and the rides were great fun to go on as well. What really stood out was the value for money. Everything was really reasonably priced, especially compared to some of the local town fairs, where you can easily end up paying considerably more. It made the whole evening even more enjoyable knowing you were getting such a brilliant experience without breaking the bank.

A massive well done to Xplosive Events for putting on such a fantastic event. It’s clear a lot of effort goes into making it such a memorable evening. We’ll definitely be making the trip again next year, and this time we’re bringing family along too. Already looking forward to it! Highly recommend!

Haloween Spooktacular- South Cerney Airfield- WOW.. What a fantastic evening, me and husband attended(Our boys have grown up) Fantastic night from start to finish.
From the fairground stalls, where you took a prize even if lost(Lovely idea) The monster trucks was sooo much fun! The fireworks to KPop music was amazing and that was only 25% of what was to come, The main firework show wow,. Honestly had the Best night, so much fun, am reccomending to everyone.
