Rotary Fireworks Display

The Bonfire and Fireworks Night is back in Congleton Park on Saturday 4 November.

Wristbands are now on sale at the Congleton Information Centre at the Town Hall and Rotary will have gazebos in the town centre on several Saturdays before the event. In advance, entry costs £7.50 for adults and £4 for children under 15. 

On the day, the price rises to £10 and £6. Rotary is encouraging people to use their credit or debit cards to buy tickets and avoid the huge problems of cash and change whenever possible. The Park has a maximum capacity of 5,000 people, so it pays to book early.

The gates to the park open at 5pm on Saturday and there is a procession to light the fire at 6pm. A family-friendly display of smaller fireworks will start at 6.30 and the full display will start at 7.30pm.

Throughout the evening, side stalls will serve food and soft drinks and fairground attractions will be running.
