Can I bring sparklers?

Sparklers and any kind of firework are not permitted on the site.   This is due to the size of the event and the thousands of people who will be there.

Please be aware that admission will be refused for anyone carrying sparklers or fireworks unless they are surrendered at the gate.

Can I bring alcohol?

Danbury Fireworks is a licenced event and therefore we cannot allow alcohol to be brought into the site.

Bag searches are in operation.

The Car Park is located in a grass field at the bottom of the site and involves a walk up the path to the main event site. The path is illuminated all of the way.

What shall I wear?

As it is November, and in the evening, we would suggest you wear suitable warm clothing and sensible shoes or boots. As a Scout Group we would always recommend using multiple thin layers as opposed to one thick layer as this allows you better control. An outer waterproof layer is always useful both for rain and wind protection.   

Will it still go ahead if it is raining?

Yes we will go ahead.

Will the fireworks be on time?

We do always aim to launch the fireworks at 8pm prompt, however safety is always our priority and we will not start until it is safe to do so. Safety issues could include technical reasons, unauthorised people in the firing area or weather issues. We will, however, keep you informed via the sound system of any delays.
