Abingdon Festival of Fireworks 2018

Abingdon Festival of Fireworks 2018
At Dalton Barracks a fireworks festival was being prepared throughout the day.

The rain made the organisers nervous.

Evening came and then lots of people decided to go to the event. The roads ground to a standstill, and so the main display was delayed while the cars were directed in.

Children’s quiet fireworks began the evening.

The bonfire was lit. There was a funfair and food kiosks.

There followed a display of fireworks, one by one, where we were educated about the different fireworks. We were like students being taught about music before going to a concert.

    The fireworks at Dalton Barracks were indeed spectacular but the noise was horrendous! The house really reverberated at times with the biggest bangs and we are some distance away. The dog hid behind the sofa, still refuses to go out in the dark and I hate to think of the impact on wildlife. Isn’t it time we used silent fireworks as they do in some places?

    Excellent showing. The family, including two small children, loved the whole event.

    Well organised, great fireworks. Much enjoyed.

    Hope you come back next year.
