Stevenage’s annual free firework display will return to Fairlands Valley Park on Thursday 5 November 2026 as part of the town’s 80th anniversary celebrations. Gates will open at 6.30pm and the fireworks will begin at 7.30pm. Visitors can arrive early to find a viewing place, with hot food and refreshments available from vendors at the park. The event is expected to be busy and parking is limited. Visitors are encouraged to walk, cycle or use public transport. Drivers can use South Field Car Park, opposite Stevenage FC, or town centre car parks, but should not park in residential streets. Limited accessible parking will be available on a first-come, first-served basis at Marriotts School’s main entrance on Brittain Way, SG2 8BL. The Sports Centre Car Park at Marriotts will be closed to the public. Visitors should leave personal fireworks and sparklers at home. They should use the pedestrian underpasses rather than crossing Six Hills Way directly, with security stewards available to assist.
