Stratford Fireworks 1 November: Tickets £7.50, Fireworks 7pm

Stratford Rugby Club’s bonfire and fireworks night, the town’s main display, is on Sunday 1 November 2026: gates 5pm, bonfire 6pm, fireworks 7pm. Advance tickets are on sale at £7.50 for adults and £4 for children aged 3 to 15, with under 3s free. It is at Pearcecroft, Loxley Road, CV37 7DP.

Updated 29 September: the club has opened 2026 ticket sales on Ticketebo, confirming the running order and prices below.

That date comes from the club’s events page, which carries the entry “Rugby Club Bonfire & Fireworks Night” with a start date of Sun 1 Nov 2026 and times of 17:00 to 21:00.

One caveat, and it matters if you are reading the listing yourself. The description printed under that date still says “1st November 2025”. It is last year’s copy, and last year’s display was actually on Sunday 2 November 2025, per the club’s own Ticketebo booking page, which now reads “This event has ended”. So the date field is this year’s and the paragraph beneath it is not.

Bonfire night falls on a Thursday

5 November 2026 is a Thursday. The rugby club display sits four days before it, on the Sunday. That is the club’s usual habit: it ran on Sunday 2 November in 2025 and on Sunday 5 November in 2023.

What the club has published, and what it has not

From the club’s own material, the running order in past years has been consistent:

Those times are on the club’s 2026 ticket page, and match 2025 and the club’s 2023 announcement. The events diary gives the whole evening as 5pm to 9pm.

Tickets

Those are the prices on the 2026 Ticketebo page. The club’s own events page summarises pricing as “£0.00 to £8.50”, a top figure that does not match any ticket on sale; the club has not said whether it is a gate price. In past years entry was also payable at the gate, cash or card, per the 2023 notice, but the club has not yet said whether the gate will take payment in 2026 or at what price, so buying ahead is the safe option.

Still not published: the road closure detail, beyond the club’s note that closures “will be in place around the club”.

The club calls the event “widely known as the best show in town” and lists a bonfire, a fireworks display, food stalls, mulled wine and fairground rides.

Parking is the part to plan

The club is blunt about this. Its 2026 ticket page says parking at the ground “is reserved for disabled badge holders” and that road closures will be in place around the club, so plan your journey and parking in advance. It also says the council will open a public car park off site on the night. It does not say which one.

Pearcecroft is on Loxley Road, on the eastern edge of Stratford on the way out towards Loxley. The district council’s town car parks are the realistic fallback, and every one of them is a walk away. Tariffs are on our Stratford parking page, and the overnight rate, 4pm to 8am, is £3.50.

No closure order for the display appears yet on the council’s list of road closures, which was last updated on 17 March 2026 and carries only markets for the rest of the year. That list covers events the district council administers, so a Warwickshire County Council order for Loxley Road would not necessarily appear on it. Anything else affecting your route is on our roadworks and travel page.

Anywhere else in the district?

We could not find a published 2026 date for an organised display in Alcester, Bidford-on-Avon, Henley-in-Arden, Shipston-on-Stour, Southam, Studley or Wellesbourne. The district council’s road closure list has no bonfire night entry for any of them, and none of the towns has advertised one. If your village runs a display and it is not here, tell us and we will add it.

That left the rugby club as the only bonfire night event in this district with a date in public when we first checked on 3 September.

What to watch for

Tickets are now on sale. The outstanding items are which off-site car park the council opens and the road closure detail around Loxley Road. This page will be updated when either is published.
