Downend Fireworks Display 2016 - Friday 4th November
Posted on: 29 Sep 2016The 45th installment of Downend Round Table's famous firework display will take place on Friday 4th November 2016. It's Bristol's biggest, best and certainly most entertaining display, perfect for all ages. Here are all the details you need.
***Advance tickets are available here!***
Advance tickets are available for just £5 when you pre-order. You can buy tickets online right up to the last minute but you can also pay on the evening where the cost will be £6 for adults and £5 for kids, with under 3s admitted free of charge.
A number of food and refreshment vendors will be available, selling everything you would expect – burgers, pulled pork, candy floss, sweets and much, much more. Great Western Brewery will be on site offering a selection of drinks too. Circus Uncertainty will be performing a spectacular fire juggling show. The main stage will be compared by BBC presenters and BBC Introducing bands and artists will be performing to the crowd.
Before the main display takes place there will be the traditional children's display, sponsored by Mama Bear's Day Nursery.
All money raised will again be going to charity. Last year’s event raised over £26,000 for local charities! This year the display will benefit Bristol & Bath Group Motor Neurone Disease Association.
