Spectacular Bonfire and Fireworks Set to Light Up Castle Bytham
Get ready for a magnificent evening of warmth, food, and dazzling pyrotechnics!
The village of Castle Bytham is hosting its annual Bonfire & Fireworks display tonight,
Saturday, 8 November, at St Martin's Meadow.
This community event is, bringing residents together for a spectacular display while raising money through voluntary donations.
An Evening of Warmth and Wonder
The festivities kick off early, promising a full evening of enjoyment:
17:30 (5:30 pm): The Bar opens and the towering Bonfire will be lit, offering a perfect backdrop for a crisp November evening.
19:00 - 19:30 (7:00 pm - 7:30 pm): The main event—the Fireworks—are scheduled to begin in this half-hour window, promising a stunning aerial display.
Food, Drink, and Free Entry
Entry to the event is FREE, though organisers stress that donations in the buckets will be very welcome. All money collected goes towards funding community events and local causes.
A wide array of refreshments will be available from the Cash Bar & BBQ:
Drinks: Beer, Wine, Mulled Wine (a seasonal favourite!), Hot Chocolate, and Soft Drinks.
Food: Hearty options including Soup, Burgers, and Hot Dogs.
Safety First: A Note on Sparklers
Organisers have issued a polite but firm request to all attendees:
PLEASE DON’T BRING SPARKLERS.
This is an important safety measure, particularly for the local area, as discarded wires can harm grazing sheep.
Attendees are asked to respect this request to ensure a safe and enjoyable night for all—and for the livestock.
Head down to St Martin's Meadow tonight for a fun, community-focused evening under the stars!
