Ultimate Fireworks Spectacular Update
Please kindly be advised that following the latest government guidance and continuing uncertainty about future measures, we have taken the very difficult decision not to go ahead with this year’s annual Fireworks Spectacular. We know this will be disappointing for many and we ask for your understanding in making this difficult decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
We’ve taken this difficult decision following the latest Government guidance. The health and wellbeing of our guests and staff is always our top priority. After much careful consideration, we felt it was unwise to go ahead with our annual Fireworks Spectacular given the current restrictions on group gatherings and the risks associated with bringing large groups together to watch a display. We are sorry for any disappointment this may cause.
On Friday 6th November, the theme park will run as normal (with rides closing at 4pm). Access on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th will be for existing ticket holders, Merlin Annual Passholders and Alton Towers Season Pass holders only. Pre-booking for all dates is essential on www.altontowers.com.

Short breaks are available to book now for 6/7/8 November via the Merlin Holiday Club. Hotel guests are automatically allocated theme park tickets, so you do not need to pre-book theme park tickets if you are staying on the Resort.
What does this mean? It means spectacular sights, incredible sounds – and making sure you book well in advance to avoid missing out on this amazing experience.
Every year, we welcome families and thrill seekers of all ages to our spectacular fireworks. Our fireworks event has always been popular with locals from Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire; but we’re fast becoming known as one of the best fireworks displays in the UK!
Hosted on the closest weekend in November, our Bonfire Night fireworks events span three whole days! Be sure to book in advance to avoid missing out.
Because it’s much more than whizz-bangs. Our Fireworks nights provide a final chance to enjoy our mind-blowing, heart-pounding, record-breaking rollercoasters, rides and family attractions before we bid our season goodbye. And because we’re open late for the fireworks, you can ride our coasters in the dark for extra scares, screams and shrieks. For a truly head-spinning, mega-grinning experience, book your ticket today!
What’s more, as the theme park stays open late for the fireworks display, you can even ride in the dark!
