✨ Spellbound – 6:00 PM
Our low-noise firework display designed especially for younger families. Magical colours, music and flames – but without the big bangs.
✨ Afterglow – 8:00 PM
A truly breathtaking firework spectacular with bigger effects, more intensity, and a little more volume (but still family-friendly). Feel the heat as flames light up the night!🔥 Flame Shows with BOTH Displays – more fire, more heat, more spectacle!🎭 Best Costume Competition – prizes for adults & kids. Dress up and join the fun!🎶 Bigger Stage Acts – live music and entertainment all night long.🤹 Walkabout Characters & Performers – they’re back and there’s more of them!🍔 Street Food & Funfair Rides – come hungry, stay happy.
Why You Can’t Miss It:
We heard you last year – you wanted MORE! This year we’re delivering: more fireworks, more music, more flames, more fun.
Kicking off November fireworks season in style.
Our displays are delivered by the award-winning Reaction Fireworks Team – the same team behind the Women’s Rugby World Cup display in Sunderland and the incredible weekly shows at Kynren.
