Wicksteed Park Fireworks Spectacular
There’s nothing quite like a proper fireworks night to mark the start of the darker evenings, and Wicksteed Park always puts on one of the best in Northamptonshire.
Wicksteed Park’s Fireworks Spectacular returns this November, bringing an evening of fairground rides, live entertainment and a spectacular fireworks display to Kettering. The fun kicks off from 5pm, with live stage entertainment and attractions to enjoy before the fireworks themselves light up the sky.
Date, Time and Location
- Date: 7 November 2026
- Time: Entertainment and attractions from 5pm, ahead of the fireworks display

Ticket Prices

Worth booking ahead if you want to make the most of that early bird saving, as it’s a limited-time deal.
Rides and Entertainment
Alongside the live stage entertainment, Wicksteed Park’s Carousel and Sway Rider will be open on the night at £3.50 per person per ride, with travelling fun fair rides also on site (these come with additional costs on top of your event ticket).
Food and Drink
There’s plenty to keep you fuelled and warm through the evening. Grab a hot chocolate to stay cosy, or head to the Garden Café, Carlo’s Courtyard or one of the mobile food units for hotdogs, burgers, doughnuts and other sweet treats.
Parking
Car parking is free from 5pm and allocated on a first come, first served basis, so it’s worth arriving in good time to secure a spot. Parking charges do apply if you arrive before 5pm.
How to Book
Tickets can be booked online directly through Wicksteed Park’s website.
