Annual Bonfire & Fireworks Gala

At Kenilworth Castle

The annual Bonfire Extravaganza at Kenilworth Castle is KRT's main public event of the year.

And it's always a firm favourite in the town's calendar. In the past we have been able substantial sums for local good causes too - all the funds from the night go straight back in to the community. In some years this has been over £20,000.

Gates open in the early evening and shortly after the Bonfire is lit. There are usually a few warm up fireworks to get everyone in the mood for the big display. This is set against the wonderful panorama of the Castle, which is floodlit in a mass of colour for the evening.

The main display lasts for around half an hour, and is one of the biggest in the Midlands.

As well as the entertainment there is a range of food and warming drinks available across the field from a number of tents and stalls.

Tickets for the event can be bought in advance at a number of local stores, or through Round Tablers. Tickets can also be purchased at the gate on entry. We publish all the details on this website and in the local press in the weeks leading up to the event.

It's difficult to describe the magic of the evening - you just have to be there !
