The Whitworth in Darley Dale are putting Halloween and Bonfire Night together for a Halloween themed bonfire night!
Get ready for a night of frightful fun. Bring the whole family for an evening of entertainment and enjoying the crisp autumn air.
Children are encouraged to come in Halloween fancy dress. Costumes will be judged around 6:45pm. There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes and all children will be given sweet treats to take away. So hopefully no one will go away disappointed.
At 7pm there will be the first of our displays. This will be a 10 minute, ‘low noise’ display for children and people who are sensitive to loud fireworks. The second display will be at 7:45pm. This gives people who don’t like loud fireworks, sufficient time to leave the park. The firework finale will be Halloween themed and last approximately 15 minutes.
There will also be food and drink stands and kids’ fairground rides (bring cash).
Please note that fireworks and sparklers are not permitted to be brought into the venue. Also, dogs will not be allowed into the ground for this event.
