Betley Bonfire

Once again this year, the sky will be ablaze with an even bigger and better display of aerial fireworks and pyrotechnics, promising to dazzle spectators of all ages.

The spectacular show is brought to you by our trusted associate, Merlin Fireworks, renowned for their creativity and precision. The firework extravaganza will begin later in the evening, once the bonfire is blazing and the crowds have settled in, creating the perfect backdrop for a truly magical display.

Expect a symphony of colours, lights, and effects that will leave everyone in awe.

We can’t wait to see you there, sharing in the excitement and wonder of this unforgettable night!

Once again, Stanworths Funfair will be joining us, bringing an incredible selection of rides suitable for children and adults of all ages.

From thrilling, giant rides for the brave and adventurous to more gentle options for those who prefer a steadier pace, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Alongside the funfair, a variety of hot food and drink vendors will be in attendance, offering a tempting range of treats and refreshments to suit every taste — from classic fairground favourites to hearty meals and warming drinks.

Please note that the funfair operates on a pay-per-ride basis, so you can pick and choose your favourites throughout the evening.

The bonfire has long been celebrated as one of the largest in the country, drawing visitors from near and far each year, and this year promises to be no different. Standing tall and impressive, it serves as the centerpiece of an evening filled with excitement and community spirit. The bonfire will be lit at 6pm, marking the official start of the celebrations, and will be accompanied by a small but spectacular pyrotechnic display that adds a dazzling visual flourish to the moment. As the flames rise, the warmth and glow will create a magical atmosphere, inviting families and friends to gather, enjoy the festivities, and take in the sights and sounds of the evening. The event promises not only a thrilling spectacle but also a chance to experience a time-honored tradition in a safe and welcoming setting.
