Family fun at its finest
Rides & Attractions
It’s not just fireworks lighting up Broadstone — there’s plenty of fun on the ground too! Kids (and a few grown-ups) can enjoy our mix of classic fairground rides and inflatables throughout the evening.
The bungee trampoline and merry-go-round are a firm favourite and we are glad to welcome them back again. Returning again this year are the bouncy castles giving younger visitors a lively new space to bounce, spin, and laugh the night away.
And....whilst we cannot confirm this yet....there may be something scary in the works.....check back for regular updates!
Whether it’s your child’s first carousel ride or another go on the trampoline “just one more time,” these attractions bring the festival feel to Fireworks Night.
Light up the night before the big event!
Glow Toys
Light up the night! From glowing wands and flashing headbands to colourful light-up souvenirs, our Glow Toy Stalls bring a little extra sparkle to Fireworks Night.
You’ll find them dotted around the site, including near the main arena and entrance — perfect for kids (and plenty of adults) who want to shine a little brighter when the fireworks begin.
Every purchase helps support the PTA of Broadstone Middle School, funding projects and experiences for local students. So go on — grab something that glows, and light up Broadstone in style.
