Heveningham Hall Fireworks

One of the biggest Bonfire Night celebrations in North Suffolk returns this weekend — with UB40 featuring Ali Campbell providing the soundtrack.

Heveningham Hall Fireworks takes place on Saturday 7 November, combining a huge fireworks display with live music, a bonfire, fairground rides, food and bars.

Gates at the historic estate near Halesworth open at 4.30pm, with live entertainment beginning during the afternoon.

The fireworks display is expected to take place between 7pm and 8pm, weather permitting, before UB40 featuring Ali Campbell take to the stage for the headline performance.

Ali Campbell was the distinctive original lead voice on many of UB40’s best-known recordings, and the Saturday night performance is expected to include some of the reggae favourites associated with the band across several decades.

A DJ will continue the entertainment following the headline performance, with the event finishing at around 11pm.

Alongside the music and fireworks there will be a large funfair, food stalls and a selection of bars, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free food options expected to be available.

Tickets must be bought in advance, with no tickets available on the gate.

Adult admission is £25 plus booking fee, with tickets for children aged two to 14 priced at £10 plus booking fee. Children under two can enter free.

Parking is free, although visitors are being advised to arrive early because of the popularity of the event. Dogs and sparklers are not permitted.

Visitors travelling from Lowestoft, Southwold, Beccles and Halesworth are being given a separate parking entrance from those approaching from the western side of the site, so organisers recommend checking travel information before setting off.

Profits from Heveningham Hall Fireworks go to the Heveningham Hall Country Fair Trust, which supports charities and community causes in the local area.
