Stanley Fireworks Festival

About

Event is yet to be confirmed for 2019

Celebrate Bonfire Night with a bang at the Stanley Fireworks’ Festival which takes place one again at Oakies Park and Playing Fields near Sunny Terrace in Stanley. Bringing just the right amount of sparkle and sizzle to a cold autumn night, the event will be lighting up the skies on the 1st November from 5pm onwards with plenty of festive fun activities for kids and a colourful pyrotechnic display.

Everyone from the surrounding community and beyond can attend for FREE this year to enjoy music, refreshments, catering, stalls and a 25-minute long fireworks display with a Spy theme which will be lit at 7pm.

The event will also be supporting local lad Daniel Rainbow who suffers from a rare form of cancer called neuroblastoma. His friends and family will be in attendance to collect any donations should you wish to help out Daniel.

Unfortunately there is no parking near the event so the event organisers recommend using the nearby Stanley car park which is just a 5-10 minute walk away. In case of bad weather we also recommend wrapping up warm as the event will be entirely outdoors.

Stanley in County Durham is a former colliery town with an extensive history thanks to its coal mining pits. The ever popular Stanley Fireworks Festival has been one of the most successful family events in the area with funding from the Areas Action Partnership (AAP) and Stanley Town Council to help put Stanley on the map whilst creating something fun and engaging for all the community.
