The Racecourse

The countdown to Northampton's annual Fireworks Spectacular is on! This large-scale pyro-musical event attracts thousands of visitors every year. Entry is free, with entertainment for all the family. Join us from 4pm, with a FunFair and Catering Village offering a delicious variety of food and drink. BBC Radio Northampton host the live stage entertainment with local legend Bernie Keith. Popular local covers band WHITEROOM get the party started at 4.30pm, followed by the Live Performers who will wow the crowds with their daring Fire and Pyro Show at 5.40pm. The local story of The Gunpowder Plot will play on big screens, with the Northampton Film Festival telling the tale of how history's most infamous attempt to bring down the Houses of Parliament has links to the county and resulted in the eponymous Guy Fawkes Night. Recruiting local talent, the film features many wonderful Northampton and Northamptonshire locations that played a pivotal role in the origins of the fifth of November, including Delapre Abbey, Rushton Hall and Ashby Manor House. 'A Northamptonshire Conspiracy' will have two showings through the event at 4.15pm and 5.30pm. Watch the trailer for 'A Northamptonshire Conspiracy' HERE for a sneak peek at what's to come!
