Abingdon Springfest 2025: Monster Trucks, Mayhem and a Firework Finale

Looking for something to do with the kids this weekend? Abingdon Springfest is rolling into town on Saturday 5th April, bringing monster trucks, stunt shows, live music, and a huge fairground to Abingdon Airfield for a full day of family-friendly chaos.

Whether you’re after adrenaline-fuelled action, a fun day out with the little ones, or just an excuse to tuck into some top-notch festival food, this is one event you won’t want to miss.

And to top it all off? A spectacular firework display to close the night in style.

Monster Trucks, Stunt Shows and Explosions

If you’ve never seen a monster truck up close, prepare to have your mind (and eardrums) blown. 'Big Pete', 'Grim Reaper', and 'Slingshot' will be roaring into action, crushing cars and performing stunts that defy logic. And if just watching isn’t enough, you can climb aboard and experience the ride for yourself—or, for the little daredevils, there are mini monster trucks to test out too.

But it doesn’t stop there. The main arena is the place to be for a serious dose of action, with freestyle motocross, falconry displays and stuntmen doing things that most of us wouldn’t even dream of attempting. Expect plenty of explosions and more “Did that just happen?” moments than you can count.

Live Music to Keep the Party Going

No festival is complete without a solid soundtrack, and Abingdon Springfest is pulling out all the stops with tribute performances to Oasis, Taylor Swift and The Killers, plus a lively set from The Red Stripe Band.

Whether you fancy belting out some Britpop classics, shaking it off with Taylor, or just enjoying the atmosphere, there’s something for everyone.

Fairground Rides, Inflatables and Helicopter Tours

For those who like their thrills a little closer to the ground (or much higher up, depending on your nerve), the festival’s got you covered.

There’s a full fairground packed with rides and games, a giant inflatable theme park, and even bungee jumping and helicopter tours for anyone feeling particularly brave.

Whether you’re a rollercoaster junkie or just fancy taking a turn on the rodeo bull, there’s plenty to keep you entertained.

Food, Crafts and All the Extras

If all that excitement works up an appetite, the world food stalls will be ready and waiting with enough options to satisfy even the fussiest eater. And for those who love a browse, there will be craft stalls packed with unique finds from local artisans.

The Grand Finale: Fireworks

After a full day of high-energy action, there’s only one way to finish things off properly—with an explosive firework display. Expect a display packed with pyrotechnic effects and coloured smoke adding a dramatic end to an already unforgettable day.
