Lighting the Bedford skyline for miles around, the town’s biggest display has taken place in front of a capacity attendance for many years in succession, selling out in advance annually.
We are expecting another busy night with an expectation of no tickets available on the gate, and therefore encourage everyone to purchase early to guarantee your place and avoid disappointment.
Gates, funfair, bars and food outlets open from 6pm for an action packed, fun filled evening of entertainment. Arrive early to take a wander around the ground and soak up the family atmosphere at this traditional town centre event.
A children’s Fireworks display will take place from 7pm; ahead of the main event at 8pm.
The main display will again attempt to raise the bar from our previous fireworks nights with another bright, loud and spectacular show. From Catherine Wheels to Firecrackers and Rockets, Goldington Road will again be ablaze with colour for the night. Scroll down for the best photos of recent years.
Suitable for all ages, the home of Bedford Blues can serve as the ultimate family evening or a great night out with friends before wandering into town, situated just a five-minute walk away.
Food outlets will be situated along the main drive ahead of the Funfair, whilst the Scrum Bar, Rebel Bar and CMC Marquee will be open for drinks only.
Last admission is strictly at 8pm to ensure no one misses out on the evening’s events so make sure to arrive in good time. Tickets are discounted to £9 online in advance, with children Under 6 going free.
