THE BIG PADGATE HALLOWEEN & FIREWORKS BONANZA

31st October 2026 | 5PM – 10PM

Bennetts Recreation Ground, Padgate Lane, Padgate, Warrington, WA2 0DF

This Halloween, Bennetts Recreation Ground will be transformed for one huge family evening as The Big Padgate Halloween & Fireworks Bonanza brings together the atmosphere of Halloween, the excitement of the fair and the spectacle of a major fireworks display.

Designed as a complete family night out, the event will run from 5PM until 10PM, giving visitors plenty of time to enjoy everything on site before the evening builds towards the main fireworks display.

Expect a buzzing festival atmosphere with Silcocks Fun Fair, a large selection of street food, a fully licensed bar, stalls, live DJ entertainment and Halloween-themed family fun throughout the evening.

Families are encouraged to arrive in fancy dress and make a night of it. Whether you’re bringing younger children for the Halloween atmosphere, meeting friends for food and drinks, enjoying the fairground rides or coming specifically for the fireworks, there will be something happening across the site throughout the evening.

A HUGE FAMILY NIGHT OUT

The event will feature:

• A huge professional fireworks display - 7:30pm
• Silcocks Fun Fair
• Best Family Halloween fancy dress prize
• Street food from a variety of traders
• Fully licensed bar
• Live DJ and entertainment
• Shopping and trader stalls
• Halloween atmosphere throughout the venue

Rather than simply arriving for the fireworks and heading home, this has been planned as a full evening experience where families can eat, drink, enjoy the attractions and spend time together before the main display.
