Save the Date for Northampton Town Council’s Annual Fireworks Spectacular on 2 November 2024!

Northampton Town Council is thrilled to announce the return of the highly-anticipated fireworks display, taking place on Saturday, 2 November 2024. Join us at the Racecourse starting from 4.00pm for an unforgettable evening of family-friendly entertainment and dazzling fireworks.

This year's celebrations feature a host of attractions for everyone to enjoy. BBC Radio Northampton's Bernie Keith will guide us through the evening with a vibrant line up, featuring live music and stage shows. Popular local covers band, Whiteroom, will be performing all our singalong favourites with hit after hit followed by the Live Performers exhilarating Fire and Pyrotechnic Show as the countdown begins.

A special highlight, The Northamptonshire Gunpowder Plot Story, will play on big screens throughout the evening, telling the tale of how history's most infamous attempt to bring down the Houses of Parliament has links to the county and resulted in the eponymous Guy Fawkes Night. This film was specially commissioned by NTC, produced by Northampton Film Festival featuring local actors, artists and locations.

Visitors can enjoy fun fair rides and face painting alongside a delicious variety of food, sweet treats and hot drink stalls, ahead of the spectacular pyro-musical fireworks finale at 6.00pm.
