Trent Bridge fireworks run 6, 7 and 8 November, adults £10. Radcliffe is now set for 1 November and Bingham for 7 November, with times and prices for each.
Rushcliffe Borough Council does not run a bonfire night display. Its own fireworks are the low-noise finale at the West Bridgford Christmas Lights Switch On in November, not anything on 5 November. So the borough’s bonfire night is whatever the cricket ground, the heritage railway, the sports clubs and the pubs decide to put on.
Update, 30 September 2026: Trent Bridge has now announced its 2026 fireworks. For the first time it runs three nights, Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November, with adult tickets at £10. Ruddington, Radcliffe on Trent and Bingham, below, are the other confirmed displays in the borough.
Updated 3 October: Radcliffe on Trent (Sunday 1 November) and Bingham (Saturday 7 November) have both put their 2026 displays on sale, and Ruddington’s box office, which showed no tickets in September, is selling again.
Bonfire night 2026 falls on Thursday 5 November, so displays will cluster on Saturday 7 November and the weekend either side.
Confirmed: Ruddington, Saturday 7 November
The Fireworks Extravaganza at the Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre, Mere Way, Ruddington Fields, NG11 6JS, is booked for Saturday 7 November 2026.
From Great Central Railway Nottingham’s own event page:
- Gates open 4.30pm.
- Firework display 7.30pm.
- Prices from £6.50.
- Miniature railway rides, a traditional heritage fairground, live music, hot food and a licensed bar.
Tickets are on sale again. On 3 September the box office on TryBooking read “there are no available tickets for this event” and offered only a waitlist. On 3 October the same listing shows a Book Now button and marks tickets as in stock, priced from £6.50 to £29.50. It gives the window as 4.30pm to 9pm and repeats the 7.30pm display time.
Parking is not at the heritage centre. The railway’s page now says parking is in the Vision Express car park (signposted), with limited street parking on Mere Way. There is no parking in the heritage centre car park itself, apart from a small number of disabled spaces on a first-come basis.
Radcliffe on Trent: Sunday 1 November
The Radcliffe Community Firework Fiesta is on Sunday 1 November 2026 at Bingham Road Playing Fields, NG12 2GP, according to its own ticket page:
- Gates 4.30pm, event ends 7.45pm.
- Children’s display 5.30pm, aimed at younger children and anyone sensitive to loud noise. The organisers stress it is quieter, not silent.
- Main display 6.30pm, by Electrify Pyrotechnics.
- Adults (18+) £6.50, ages 4 to 17 £3.50, under-4s free but they still need a ticket for insurance. Blue badge parking is free but limited and must be booked.
- Licensed bar, food, live music from the Pesky Alligators and small fairground rides.
- No animals except assistance animals, no sparklers, and no refund if it is cancelled.
It is the earliest display in the borough this year, a full week before the Trent Bridge and Bingham nights.

Trent Bridge fireworks 2026: dates, times and prices
Trent Bridge put its 2026 fireworks on sale on 25 September 2026, a month later than the late-August announcements of the previous two years, and it has gone from two nights to three. The club’s own fireworks nights 2026 ticket page gives each night a different soundtrack:
| Night | Theme | Gates open | Display |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday 6 November | Ibiza Classics | 6pm | 8pm |
| Saturday 7 November | A Night at the Movies | 6.30pm | 8.30pm |
| Sunday 8 November | Family Fireworks | 4pm | 6pm |
Prices, first release: adult £10, under-16 £5, and a family ticket for two adults and two under-16s at £25, the same on all three nights. The club describes these as the first ticket release, so expect later releases to cost more. Buy through tickets.trentbridge.co.uk, linked from the club’s fireworks event page.
Sunday is the one for younger children. It is the earliest display, at 6pm, and the soundtrack is family songs; the club names When You Wish Upon A Star, Hakuna Matata and Let It Go. Friday and Saturday are the later, grown-up nights.
Where you watch from. The ticket pages say the event runs across the TBI Courtyard, the Bridgford Road concourse and seats in the Bridgford Road and William Clarke stands. Gates open two hours before each display so you have time to eat first.
Ticket+ (Friday and Sunday only): £25 adult, £15 under-16, £65 family. It buys the Derek Randall Suite and its viewing balcony, a first drink, a private bar, tea and coffee all evening and reserved seats in the Hound Road Lower Stand, per the club’s Ticket+ announcement of 24 September. There is no Ticket+ on the Saturday.
Food. On 29 September the club named 15 street food traders, among them Smokey Joes BBQ, Bad Boy Wings, Disco Fries, Phata Phata (Indian), Syiok Lah (Malaysian), Big Malakas (Greek), Fat Snags hot dogs and DoughNotts, alongside live DJs. Notts Street Food runs it again, and this year’s presenting partner is Sauce Shop, the West Bridgford sauce maker; in 2023 it was the city business group It’s in Nottingham.
Do not wait. All three previous years sold out: 2024’s two nights had gone by 28 October. The old standing page at trentbridge.co.uk/fireworks-night.html still carries the register-your-interest form but not the 2026 dates, so go to the events page above rather than that one.
A week earlier: Halloween fireworks at the racecourse
Just across the Trent, Nottingham Racecourse at Colwick Park, NG2 4BE, runs a Halloween Spooktacular with fireworks on Saturday 31 October: gates 4pm, a display of about 15 minutes from 7pm, funfair and food stalls, tickets from £12 and under-5s free, per the racecourse’s own page. More on that night is on our West Bridgford Halloween page.
Trent Bridge: how the last three years went
The biggest fireworks night actually inside West Bridgford is the Notts Street Food fireworks at Trent Bridge cricket ground, NG2 6AG, run with the city centre business group It’s in Nottingham. It has sold out three years running.
- 2023: Saturday 4 November, one night. Gates 4.30pm, display 8.15pm, viewed from the PKF Smith Cooper Stand. £9 adult, £4 under-16, £22 for two adults and two under-16s, per Nottingham City Transport. Sold out.
- 2024: Friday 1 and Saturday 2 November. Gates 6.30pm Friday and 5.30pm Saturday, displays at 8.30pm and 7.30pm, each 15 minutes. Friday was set to a pop playlist, Saturday to a Greatest Showman theme. Both nights sold out by 28 October.
- 2025: Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 November, with a Halloween-themed display on the Saturday. Early-bird tickets went on sale in the week commencing 22 September to people who had registered interest or bought in 2024, before general sale.
The club announced the 2024 and 2025 nights on 25 August 2024 and 24 August 2025. When we first wrote this page on 3 September 2026 nothing had been published for 2026, and the old fireworks page was still showing the 2023 sell-out notice. The 2026 nights came on 25 September, as set out above.
The fireworks do not replace the club’s other winter show: on Saturday 5 December Trent Bridge also hosts Sky Kingdom, a drone light show with no loud bangs.
The other village displays: not yet confirmed for 2026
Radcliffe and Bingham have now confirmed, above. For the rest we could not verify a 2026 date from an organiser’s own page, and we are not going to repeat last year’s dates as though they were this year’s. What ran in 2025, as listed by Off Out Nottingham on 6 October 2025:
- Keyworth Rugby Club fireworks, gates 6.45pm, bonfire 7pm, display 7.30pm.
- The White Horse, Church Street, Ruddington NG11 6HD, Tuesday 4 November, gates 6pm, display between 7pm and 8pm, £10 adult and £5 under-11, with a hotdog or burger included.
- Kinoulton Cricket Club, Hickling Lane NG12 3SE, Friday 7 November, gates 6pm, bonfire from 7pm, £7 adult, £5 under-16, £20 family, cash or card on the gate.
None of those three had a 2026 listing we could find on 3 October 2026. The council and community sites never carried Radcliffe or Bingham either: both are sold only through the organisers’ Ticket Tailor pages, linked above.
Practical points
- Rushcliffe asks for quiet fireworks. The council has used lower-noise effects at its own events since 2021, and formally encourages residents and external event operators to do the same, citing people with sensory processing disorders, PTSD and respiratory conditions, plus pets, livestock and wildlife.
- Arrive at Ruddington nearer the 4.30pm gates than the 7.30pm display. The heritage centre sits at the end of Mere Way in Ruddington Fields Business Park, a single approach road, and its own car park is closed to visitors that night. Questions go to the centre on 0115 940 5705.
- For Trent Bridge, plan not to drive. Our parking in West Bridgford page sets out what the borough car parks cost and how the county’s on-street bays work, which is the difference that catches people out.
- Check the roads first. Anything closed on the night will be on our roadworks and travel page, and Lady Bay Bridge can shut around City Ground events under a separate order.
Where the 2026 announcements will appear
- Trent Bridge: announced 25 September 2026, above. Its fireworks event page lists the full event guide as “coming soon”, and the news feed is where any change of timing or sell-out notice will appear.
- Ruddington: the GCRN events page, already live.
- Radcliffe and Bingham: on sale on Ticket Tailor, above.
- Keyworth, Kinoulton and the White Horse: their own club and pub pages, typically in October.
We will update this page as each one lands.
