Yes... This year's event is a ticket only event. There will be no means of purchasing a ticket at the gates.

While we do have parking available, getting to and from the event can be slow due to the roads leading to the park. We recommend coming by Bus (Routes 1 and 1A to Tregoze way/Hay Lane) or walking if you live close enough... for more information on Bus services in Swindon please see Swindon Travel Choices - Helping You Make Travel Choices 

The organisers can see no reason as to why the event will be cancelled, the only thing that could stop it is extreme weather conditions.

We do not have carer tickets as such but if you are attending with a Blue Badge holder, then we allow one carer per badge holder to enter for free.

At present we are not looking for commercial traders.

This year you WILL need a ticket for your 4yr old but there is no charge. This is simply to allow the organisers to understand how many infants are likely to be on site.

Unfortunately hot sparklers and crowds are not a good mix so we ask that you leave sparklers at home... There will be Glow/LED  products on sale for you to wave and join in! Please also do not bring your own fireworks.

This event is run by the Swindon Scouts. We are all volunteers and have day jobs too. No-one is paid to put this event on. All monies raised by the event go back into the local scout groups in Swindon to help with the running of those sections... Some of the activities that this event helps raise money for are... 

• Help with scouts to attend International Events 

• Buying Equipment

• Helping to subsidise experiences that the members would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience

We do not need any wood or pallets for the bonfire as these are all arranged for this year.

We allow those with disabilities to park closer to the action, so you'll have a good view of the bonfire and fireworks.  On arrival at the event, if you could make it known to the entry staff that you'll need disabled parking,  we will gladly escort your vehicle further into the venue.

Firework Spectacular is a no alcohol event. There will be no alcohol sold and anyone found to be either drinking alcohol or under the influence will be asked to leave the event.

We read every message sent to us so please use the contact form on this site and leave us your contact information, and any suggestions on how you can help... 

We ask that people do not bring pets to the display.
