Lincolnshire Showground has announced it will be hosting a new fireworks event this November featuring family entertainment, amusements and a pyrotechnic display set to music from the movies.

The Fireworks at the Showground event will be held on Friday, November 3 and will be hosted by Lincs FM.

Previously, the showground had welcomed the annual Lincolnshire Fireworks Spectacular. This year, organisation of the bonfire night event has been brought in house.

Jayne Southall, CEO at the Showground, said: “We’re delighted to be adding a fireworks event to the growing collection of events that our team organise.

“We know it’s a popular occasion for families to enjoy together, so we’ve put together a full evening of family-friendly fun with something for everyone to enjoy.”

Gates will open at 5.30pm and visitors will be welcomed from 6.30pm by Breakfast Show presenter Rob Hammond. Rob will introduce a number of local singers and bands to showcase their talent and entertain the crowd on the Lincs FM stage, before the countdown begins to the big display.

Elsewhere, families can visit the funfair, dedicated sparkler area, or pick up a bite to eat from one of many local food producers with a choice of hot dogs, pulled pork rolls, loaded nachos, stone baked pizzas and more – plus a bar serving Baileys hot chocolates.

The fireworks will be provided by award-winning Fuse Fireworks, who have created a design-led display set to iconic music from movies across the years.

With the theme song from Beauty and the Beast as its opening number, the twenty minute display will begin around 7.45pm with an eclectic selection of songs chosen to delight visitors of all ages.

Advanced tickets are priced at £9 for adults, £6 for children and under 5s go free. Parking is also free of charge.

VIP tickets are also available. More information can be found on the Showground website. Tickets can also be purchased on the gate, priced at £10 for adults and £7 for children.

Tickets are now on sale on the website here or by calling 01522 522900.
