Fireworks events to be held throughout the Melton Mowbray area
There are a host of fireworks and bonfire nights taking place across the Melton Mowbray area early in the first week of November.
Hundreds will be heading to the town’s Play Close Park on the evening of Wednesday November 4 for an event which also includes a sensory display at 7pm for younger children and those sensitive to loud bangs.
The bonfire will be lit at 7.30pm ahead of the main display at 8pm at the Melton Mowbray Town Estate spectacular, with attractions including a children’s funfair, food vendors, and an on-site bar.
To comply with the Town Estate’s licensing agreement, organisers cannot allow alcohol to be brought into the venue.
DJ sets by Chris Popple will keep things rolling from when the gates open to the public, at 5.30pm, and throughout the evening.
"We are so excited to welcome everyone back to Play Close Park for Melton Fireworks & Bonfire 2026," said Alex McHarg, the acting CEO of Melton Mowbray Town Estate.
"It's always one of the highlights of our year, bringing friends, families, and neighbours together.
"We've put together a wonderful evening, including our sensory display, so even our youngest community members can enjoy the magic.
"Get your tickets early, gather your loved ones, and join us for a fantastic night under the stars."
