Fireworks Events - PLEASE READ THIS FIRST
All events are subject to change and can be cancelled at the last minute (especially if the weather isn't on side). It's therefore super important to check the event is definitely going ahead via official channels before heading out.
Prices are based on either a family ticket or 2A, 2C including booking fees checked on 30 September 2025. Other options are available but this just makes comparison easier.
FREE entry events usually raise £ for the community/charity. Please bring cash and donate if you can.
Funfair rides and food/drinks are not included (unless specified). I'd recommend bringing both cash and card.
Please travel by public transport if possible and if you do take your car, use official/public car parks and do not cause issues for local residents.
Most events do not permit you to take your own sparklers etc.... Keep these for home afterwards.
Wrap up warm - obviously, it can get chilly and even if it's been a mild day it will still be chilly at night.
It's nice to support local vendors but often I find there to be huge queues at these events. I'd recommend eating beforehand and buying a few snacks when you are there. That means you won't be starving / stressed about queuing and if the queues are too big, it's not the end of the world if you miss out.
AD Fireworks Essentials
- I love this mega cheap pack of 196 glow in the dark accessories - fun AND a great way to keep an eye on your kids in the dark.
- If you haven't bought your kids their winter hats, scarves and gloves yet, here is a nice selection with next day delivery.
- Thermal gloves are an absolute must!
- Or how about investing in some hand warmers?
Why not plan a DIY S'mores board and some sparklers for once you're back at home? Remember for kids to wear gloves and to stick the end in a carrot so they're easier to hold.
