Bonfire Night Derby 2024: two day extravaganza with giant fire shows, fairground rides and live music
‘People can also explore the outdoor fun field with its jumping pillows, go-karts and musical maze - firework night can be a whole day of fun rather than just a few hours!’
A Bonfire Night special event near Derby is taking place over the weekend to make those firework display thrills last longer than just the fifth of November.
Sparkling displays, live music and aerial fire shows will light up the Staffordshire skies as a Burton farm brings back its popular Bonfire Night family event.
Fireworks at the Farm, which launched last year and packed three sell out nights to celebrate the firework season, will return to the National Forest Adventure Farm, in Tatenhill, Burton, on Friday 8th and Saturday 9th November.
National Forest Adventure Farm is a 30-minute drive from Derby city centre.
The event will feature a dazzling firework display at the 40-acre Burton farm.
There will be live music, fairground rides, street food stalls and a licensed bar as well as exclusive gazebos with firepits and spectacular views of the firework display for those looking for a VIP experience.
New this year is an extra pyrotechnic fire show.
Be prepared to be awed by an 8-metre-tall windmill display blasting out a mesmerising aerial fire show to music.
Ticket costs start from £8 and include access to the National Forest Adventure Farm’s fun field and animal barn from 2pm till dusk, as well as evening entertainment, firework display and aerial fire show.
Tom Robinson runs the National Forest Adventure Farm with his brother Ivor.
He said the event was an opportunity for families to come together and enjoy a firework spectacular in the Staffordshire countryside and a whole afternoon of fun activities to help Bonfire Night go with a bang.
He said: “We are always looking for new ways to add some sparkle to the farm and help families enjoy some fun in the great outdoors together.
“Last year’s firework displays were a huge hit and so we are keen to bring back the event allowing families to enjoy all the fun of the farm as well as the evening entertainment and firework shows.
“The new pyrotechnic show will see an extra twist added to the event with an additional fire display blasted out to the beat of a bespoke music track - at 8 metres tall it is a real spectacle to see!
“By opening the outdoor fun field with its jumping pillows, go-karts and musical maze, it means that firework night can be a whole day of fun rather than just a few hours as well.”
