Ticket Prices

  • Whilst our expenses have again increased substantially this year we remain determined to keep this event as accessible to all as far as we possibly can.
  • The adult ticket price will increase from £12 to £12.50 but the booking fee will now be a flat £1 rather than 10% as in previous years.
  • This means the increase over last year’s price is just 30p.
  • Accompanied children under 16 will again be FREE
  • This will be an all ticket event again with NO sales on the night.
  • Early bird tickets for adults priced at £10 (plus £1 booking fee) will be available via Seetickets from August 1st until August 31st.

Environment

  • We work with Pains fireworks the UK’s largest Fireworks Company
  • Our display would only probably have the same impact as 1 or 2 family cars driving to the event!
  • Pains offset the carbon footprint of every single one of their displays so that our display is in fact carbon neutral!
