Meet Your Favourite Characters

Our friends from Supersons Family Entertainment will be bringing a fantastic selection of popular characters to the event. They'll be roaming the site throughout the evening, meeting families, posing for photos, and entertaining the crowd before the fireworks begin.

Two Spectacular Firework Displays

The evening starts with a specially designed low-noise fireworks display, giving younger children and those who prefer a quieter experience the opportunity to enjoy the magic of fireworks.

As darkness falls, prepare for our main fireworks spectacular—bigger, brighter, and more breathtaking than ever before. Expect an incredible display packed with colour, excitement, and unforgettable moments.

Funfair

Enjoy an exciting funfair provided by Angus Pedrick Funfairs, offering something for every age and thrill level. From family favourites and children's rides to exhilarating attractions for adrenaline seekers, there's fun waiting around every corner. Sweets, treats, and traditional fairground favourites will also be available throughout the evening.

Food & Drink

Support your local club by visiting our bar and BBQ, where you'll find a fantastic selection of freshly prepared food alongside a wide choice of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or a hearty meal before the fireworks, there's something to satisfy every appetite.
