SPOOKY FIREWORKS SPECTACULAR AT DONCASTER RACECOURSE
BAWTRY RD, DONCASTER DN4 5HH
Saturday 30 October 2021
Could there be a better event combination than spooky Halloween mixed with spectacular Firework Night? The skies above Doncaster will be lit up at Doncaster Racecourse for their Hallowe’en themed Spooky Fireworks Spectacular on Saturday 30 October.
The event commences at 4pm and there will be entertainment for all ages throughout the evening. For the younger visitors there will be face painting, a kids disco, and children’s entertainers!
“There will be a fun fair with rides and special choice of spooky-themed refreshments available from the Food Court and concession stands.
The main attraction will be the HUGE fireworks display which can be displayed from a covered area so, if the British winter weather decides to be typically British, you can still enjoy the fireworks.”

Illuminate the Gardens 2021
Botanical Gardens, Sheffield
Illuminate the Gardens is one of the best family-friendly fireworks displays in Yorkshire and it’s back for 2021. The three-night extravaganza takes place in the sensational setting of the Sheffield Botanical Gardens. Festivities commence at 6pm each day of the event. Enjoy delicious street food, treat yourself to a beer and take a ride on the vintage fairground rides before the main event starts. This event is ideal for all the family as they thoughtfully start each night with a ‘low bangs’ display for the little ones. This is then followed later on in the evening by the main display, once little ones have disappeared home.
Illuminate the Gardens erupts over Sheffield Botanical Gardens from Friday 5th to Sunday 7th November 2021.
Tickets are from £10 for adults and £7.50 for children and are available here.
