Gordon League Fireworks 2026 – Family Fun & Fireworks

Join us this Bonfire Night for the Gordon League Fireworks – Gloucester’s biggest, best and most loved fireworks spectacular.

Enjoy an unforgettable evening of spectacular fireworks, family entertainment, delicious food and drink, a fantastic funfair, and an incredible atmosphere as we light up the sky together. Whether you’re bringing the whole family or meeting up with friends, this is Gloucester’s favourite Bonfire Night celebration and one you won’t want to miss.

Meet Your Favourite Characters

Our friends from Supersons Family Entertainment will be bringing a fantastic selection of popular characters to the event. Just as they did at our hugely successful summer event, they’ll be roaming the site throughout the evening, meeting families, posing for photos and helping create a fun, interactive experience for children of all ages.

Two Spectacular Fireworks Displays

The evening begins with a specially designed low-noise fireworks display, perfect for younger children and those who prefer a gentler experience.

Then, prepare for the biggest fireworks display in Gloucester – a breathtaking pyro-musical spectacular choreographed to music, featuring more fireworks than ever before.

Funfair, Sweets & Treats

The event will once again feature the fantastic Angus Pedrick Funfair, offering everything from thrilling rides to family favourites. Alongside the attractions, you’ll find plenty of sweets, treats and traditional fairground favourites to enjoy throughout the evening.

Food & Drink

Support your local rugby club by visiting one of our three bars and BBQs. Enjoy a great selection of hot food fresh from the grill, alongside a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to keep you warm throughout the night.
