Wallingford Fireworks

Remember remember…

WALLINGFORD 1155 take great pride in organising Wallingford’s annual bonfire night celebrations on the Kinecroft, with a huge bonfire and enormous firework display the event attracts thousands of people from the Wallingford district on the Saturday before or after November 5th.

We have had to take the inevitable decision to cancel the 2020 Wallingford Fireworks Display. While this may not come as a surprise to many of you, the impact that this will have on the charities that 1155 support will be considerable. Please continue to support those charities, either directly, or through a donation to 1155 through this website, and thank you to those of you who have already donated. We will pass 100% of those donations onto the local charities that were otherwise relying on proceeds from the fireworks display.

1155 and Illusion Fireworks will continue to make plans for 2021. We will be back with a bigger and better Wallingford Fireworks Display and bonfire! Thank you for your continued support through what has been a challenging period for all of us, and we look forward to welcoming you back to an 1155 event very soon.

The bonfire celebrations display the best of Wallingford’s community spirit with a multitude of local people offering their services and help, from donations of pallets by the lorry load for the bonfire before the event to official money counters post event.

WALLINGFORD 1155 offer local community groups the opportunity to assist the event in whatever way they can in exchange for a share of the funds raised, duties include money collectors, litter pickers, crowd marshalls and helping hands!

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. Using fireworks from around the world, Wallingford Fireworks is a display like no other.

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.

WALLINGFORD 1155 now contract a professional audio and effects company 2429 Technologies to supply and manage a superior sound system ensuring everybody could here the music the fireworks have been choreographed to!

We can’t wait to see you there!
