Fire & Fright…

This Halloween, Alresford Hall comes alive after dark for a spectacular evening of spooky adventure, magical mischief, fire and fireworks at the Halloween Fireworks Festival!

But something wicked is afoot…

The Wicked Witch has stolen the fireworks, determined to plunge the evening into darkness and cause chaos at Alresford Hall. There’s only one way to stop her — brave little witches, wizards and monsters must take on the Trick or Treat Trail, following the clues, meeting spooky characters and collecting delicious treats along the way. Complete the trail and help recover the stolen fireworks before it’s too late!

But the Halloween magic doesn’t stop there. Feel the heat as our Fire Performer brings the flames to life, get wonderfully messy at the Slime Station, and step into the spotlight at our Fancy Dress Competition to show off your most spectacularly spooky costume. Challenge your friends and family with Halloween Funfair Games, transform yourself with Neon Face Painting, and enjoy delicious food and drinks throughout the evening.

As night falls, the atmosphere builds. Head to the Sparkler Zone and prepare to light up the darkness before everyone gathers for the grand finale…

A spectacular Halloween fireworks display soars above, set to a spine-tingling soundtrack of dramatic Halloween classics.

From trick-or-treating and spooky encounters to fire, slime, funfair games and a spectacular fireworks finale, the Halloween Fireworks Festival promises an unforgettable night of Halloween magic for the whole family.

Come dressed to impress. Follow the trail. Help defeat the Witch. And get ready for a Halloween night that ends with a bang!
