The Village Fireworks Night Team writes …
Tickets for Fireworks Night 2026 are on sale, and now is the time to grab yours at the early bird rate before 17th October 2026.
More information about the event and ticket sales can be found on our website: https://longwittenhamfireworks.co.uk/
The event will take place on Wards Field (behind Pendon Museum) on Saturday 7th November, with gates opening at 5pm, bonfire lighting at 6.45pm and the fireworks starting promptly at 7pm.
It’s one of the highlights of the village calendar and a brilliant evening for all ages.
New for this year, we’re opening earlier at 5pm so that our younger members can enjoy a variety of games and food before the bonfire is lit. This also gives you plenty of time to soak up the atmosphere with friends and family. There will also be an option to pay for your BBQ food in advance with your ticket to speed things up on the night.
We can only allow 500 people at the event due to safety and site capacity restrictions. Tickets are expected to sell quickly, so book early to avoid disappointment.
Early bird ticket sales close on 17th October 2026; after this date, standard pricing will apply.
Ticket Prices:
Adult – Early bird £8; Full price £10
Child (4–17 yrs) – Early bird £6; Full price £8
Under 4 – Early bird £1; Full price £1
Family (2 adults & 2 children U18) – Early bird £25; Full price £30
Thank you for your continued support – we can’t wait to celebrate with you!
