The fireworks are brought to you by the 2015 and 2017 National Firework Champions – Wallingfords very own Illusion Fireworks Ltd, award winning display designer Karl Mitchell-Shead and his team of pyrotechnicians have designed a spectacular PYROMUSICAL firework display. The fireworks are choreographed to the music and fired using their state-of-the-art digital firing system with split second accuracy.

The Loose Cannon Brewery will be providing the event with Ale and Pilsner lager, look out for the Loose Cannon tents!

The 2017 event raised a RECORD amount of money for charity. This money is of course distributed between the charities and organisations in the local community that helped us bring the event to you. A HUGE pat on the back for everybody.

We can’t wait to see you there!
