Chelmsford Fireworks Return to Admirals Park on Saturday 7 November 2026
One of Chelmsford's biggest annual family events returns on Saturday 7 November 2026, when Chelmsford Round Table stages its charity fireworks display at Admirals Park.
The popular Bonfire Night celebration returns for its 51st year, bringing a spectacular fireworks display, funfair rides, live entertainment and a wide selection of food and drink stalls to the city.
Gates will open at 5pm, with the main fireworks display scheduled to begin at approximately 7.30pm, subject to weather conditions and final safety checks.
Fireworks, funfair and live entertainment
Visitors can enjoy an evening of family entertainment before the fireworks illuminate the Chelmsford skyline.
The organisers have confirmed a family funfair, a main stage featuring entertainment throughout the evening, a bar and a wide variety of food and drink stands.
Families are encouraged to arrive early to enjoy the attractions and avoid queues before the main display.
Supporting local charities
The event is organised by Chelmsford Round Table, whose members volunteer their time to stage the annual celebration.
Money raised through the fireworks event is used to support local charities and community causes through grants and donations.
The event has become a long-standing fixture in Chelmsford's calendar and provides an opportunity for families to enjoy Bonfire Night while supporting the local community.
