About

Tamworth’s FREE fireworks spectacular returns to Tamworth Castle Grounds on Saturday November 4th 2023 for another breathtaking event not to be missed.

The extravaganza will return bringing a great evening of fun for the whole family. This year’s impressive display of fireworks, set to music from Elton John, will light up the skies above Tamworth at 7pm, site open from 5.30pm with food stalls and a fun fair.

Organised by Tamworth Borough Council, the event has become a firm favourite in the town’s annual calendar of events pulling in around 25,000 visitors in previous years, it is expected an even greater surge in this year’s attendance, so please allow ample time for travel and parking to make the most of this wonderful event.

This year to assist with access safety to the event, road closures will take place at Anker Drive between 6.45pm – 7.45pm, River Drive between 7pm – 8pm and Ventura Park Road 7pm – 8pm.

Council staff will be handing out wristbands for children, at the main entrances for parents to write their contact details on. Alternatively, parents can place a wristband on their child at home, prior to arriving, to save queuing at the entrances.

There will also be the opportunity to visit Tamworth Castle after dark, last admission is 5pm, doors close at 7pm. No viewing of the fireworks will be possible from inside the castle. Normal admission prices will apply. www.tamworthcastle.co.uk

People are advised to walk or use public transport where possible and to arrive in plenty of time for the fireworks as some footpaths around the area will close during the display for safety reasons.  

Due to the event’s popularity, visitors are asked to plan ahead and be patient when travelling to the event and moving in and out of the main arena. Visitors are also asked to follow instructions from the stewarding team.
