Spectacular firework displays
choreographed to music,
plus Steam Rally & Food Festival
The Festival of Fireworks is one of the largest and most prestigious firework events in the country. An annual event, we feature four leading companies who showcase their skills by creating spectacular displays to music. An unforgettable experience enjoyed by the whole family.
The main focus of our event is the firework spectacular. However, family fun begins at 2pm, with an incredible collection of classic cars, vintage vehicles, and steam engines of all sizes, showcased in the stunning grounds. Take a ride on the back of a miniature train, or marvel at the locomotives.
You may bring a picnic, or enjoy cuisine from around the globe. Our caterers provide mouth-watering fare, from traditional English food, to Mexican, Italian, Spanish, Vegetarian, and a hog roast. Those with a sweet tooth will not be disappointed, plus soft and alcoholic drinks available all day.
Catton Hall in Derbyshire has been in the hands of the same family since 1405. The present house, originally designed by James Gibbs and built by Smith of Warwick in 1742, is virtually unchanged. The beautiful grounds, adjacent to the River Trent, offer an attractive location for The Festival.
