Fireworks Night at Buckden Towers
2026-11-05 17:30 - 19:30
Each year on 5th November, the historic grounds of Buckden Towers are transformed into a vibrant Bonfire Night celebration—bringing together spectacle, atmosphere, and community in a setting unlike any other.
Following its successful launch in 2025, the event returns in 2026 (Thursday 5 November), continuing to build a tradition that places Buckden Towers at the heart of the village’s seasonal celebrations.

🎇 What to expect
Drawing on the 2025 event, Fireworks Night at the Towers is designed as a full evening experience, beginning as dusk falls:

Gates open from around 5:00pm
A bonfire and gathering atmosphere builds early in the evening
The main fireworks display typically begins after dark (around 6:00–6:30pm)

Across the grounds, visitors can expect:

a large-scale professional fireworks display
a lively, family-friendly environment
space to gather, move, and enjoy the spectacle safely

🍔 Food, drink, and atmosphere
One of the defining features of the evening is the sense of occasion created across the site. Previous events have included:

Hot and cold food stalls
Sweet treats and seasonal snacks
A fully licensed bar
Glow items and small attractions for children

The result is something more than a fireworks display—it becomes a shared village celebration, where people arrive early, meet friends, and enjoy the atmosphere before the countdown begins.
Set against the dramatic silhouette of Buckden Towers, the combination of firelight, music, and open space creates a striking and memorable backdrop for the evening.

🎟️ Tickets and booking
Tickets are typically booked online in advance, with 2025 tickets available via TicketSource:

Affordable pricing tiers (adults, children, family options)
Advance booking recommended
The event may limit or avoid on-the-gate sales if tickets have sold out.

✨ The overall experience
Fireworks Night at Buckden Towers is not simply about the display—it is about coming together.
It offers:

a traditional Bonfire Night, reimagined in a historic setting
a social evening for families and friends
and a chance to experience the Towers after dark, alive with light, sound, and celebration

As the fireworks rise above the Towers and the crowd gathers below, the evening captures something rare: a moment where heritage, community, and shared experience meet.
