Hatherley Manor Christmas Fireworks & Festive Family Evening 2026

Join us on Sunday 20th December 2026 at Hatherley Manor Hotel for a magical Christmas evening filled with festive entertainment, family fun and a spectacular fireworks display. The event runs from 5:00pm to 8:00pm, with the main fireworks set to light up the night sky at 7:15pm.

Throughout the evening, children will have the chance to meet Santa in his large outdoor grotto, where every child will receive a small festive gift and the opportunity for a memorable photo. Santa’s real reindeer will also be on site from the moment gates open, adding an extra touch of Christmas magic before they depart at 7:00pm.

Entertainment continues across the site with the return of the ever-popular Christmas Dubs, a lively display of festive-themed vehicles supporting The Grand Appeal, Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity. Guests can also enjoy a selection of small funfair attractions, adding extra excitement for younger visitors.

At the heart of the evening is a breathtaking 10-minute musical fireworks display, presented by Chase Lane Fireworks. Set to a festive soundtrack, the show delivers a huge, high-impact pyro-musical experience. The display is designed as a reduced-noise show in consideration of local residents, while still delivering the scale, colour and excitement expected from a major Christmas fireworks event.

A wide variety of food and drink will be available throughout the evening, along with festive Christmas market stalls offering handmade gifts, seasonal treats and local crafts, making it an ideal opportunity for Christmas shopping in a festive setting.

Tickets must be booked in advance, with no entry available on the gate. Parking is limited, so car sharing is strongly encouraged where possible to help ensure smooth access to the venue.

For those wishing to extend the experience, guests can enjoy a luxury overnight stay at Hatherley Manor Hotel, allowing them to relax and unwind in beautiful surroundings after an unforgettable evening of fireworks and festive celebration. Early booking is highly recommended, as accommodation sells out quickly during this event.
