Saturday 7th November 2026, Tickers Folly
The BVS Fireworks Night will be held on Saturday 7th November in Tickers Folly Field. We have a spectacular firework display planned, and the bar and baked potato stalls will be back, under our marquee. Gates will open at 6:00 pm, the bonfire will be lit at 6:30 pm
and the fireworks will start at 7:00 pm.
We will have the usual wood collection for the bonfire with a small collection fee. We are working on transport, but spaces may be limited, so please email blewburybvs@gmail.com or phone Alex on 07831 692331 if you would like your address to be included on the rounds. The deadline for a request for wood collection is Friday 30th October so that we can plan the route. We politely request that you only put out reasonably clean firewood and remove as much metal and plastic as possible. Unfortunately, if you do not adhere to this, we may need to refuse to pick the wood up, so thanks in advance for your cooperation.
As always, we need lots of volunteers for this event – especially with wood collection and potato baking beforehand, and with setup and refreshment serving on the night. If you can help, please email us at the BVS email address above. We’d love to hear from you!
