This year’s annual Bradford on Avon fireworks display will be held on Sunday 2 November at Poulton Park and is kindly sponsored by The Kingston Group.
As well as another brilliant carbon-neutral display from Pains, there will be a variety of food and drink options and traditional fairground rides to keep you entertained.
Poulton Park will be open to the public from 4 – 7pm, with the traditional display lighting up the sky at 6pm. Please make your way to one of the main entrances at either Poulton Park or Baileys Barn. We advise bringing a torch and wearing appropriate footwear – many routes to the park are unlit and the ground can be slippery underfoot.
We know big public events can sometimes feel a bit hectic for parents. To help, we’re offering free children’s wristbands, which you can pick up from several spots around town, including from the entrances on the night, and:
- our Kingston Road office
- Bradford on Avon Library
- Christ Church Primary School
- Fitzmaurice Primary School
- Leigh Cottage Childcare
- Tiddlywinks Nursery
- Westview Day Nursery & the Shambles Nursery.
Just write your phone number on the wristband and a member from our BOA Youth team will help reunite you with your child if you get separated on the night.
This is an extremely popular event, so we strongly recommend arriving on foot and avoiding driving where possible to avoid queues.
This is a free event, but donations towards the display are welcomed and can be made via cash or card.
Looking to plan ahead? Here’s a taster of what delicious food and drink will be on offer on the night.
