Get ready to Light up the Night! Nottinghamshire’s most anticipated firework event is back!

TICKETS AVAILABLE ON THE DOOR ONLY!

 

Join us for the 8th firework evening in Walesby Forest’s history on Saturday 8th November.

From 5pm, you can enjoy our family-friendly event with a fun fair, food stalls, and our own eras tour featuring live music from much-loved Taylor Swift tribute act, Taylored Swift. We also have free and secure car parking for everyone.

There will be two fireworks displays for you to enjoy. The first is our dazzling display designed for younger audiences and those who are sensitive to loud noises. Following this is our showstopping event finale, featuring the big bangs, starting at 8pm. Both sets of fireworks are choreographed by Fuse Fireworks, who specialise in creating PyroMusicals.

As a charity, Light up the Night helps us ensure that we can continue to provide young people with unique and memorable experiences, while also preserving our woodland for generations to come. Thank you.
