Event: Bonfire & Fireworks

The bonfire and firework display gate opens at 7:00 pm, but all are invited to join the traditional village Torchlit Procession that starts at 6:30 pm from the Two Brewers, High Street, Thornborough on the first Saturday in November.  The procession proceeds directly up the Nash Road to the venue on the outskirts of the village. 

Thornborough Village is just off the A421.  From Milton Keynes, turn right at the Lone Tree Pub about two miles before Buckingham.  There is plenty of room for parking along the High Street and Village Green for visitors to the event.  For safety reasons parking is prohibited along the Nash Road by the venue. There is disabled parking at the venue.

The gate opens at 7:00 pm and is at the ‘Thornborough’ village sign on the Nash Road. Entry for the event is £4-00 for adults, £2 for Senior Citizens and children. The fire will be lit at 7:15pm and the Aerial Firework display is from 7:30 to 8:00 pm.

We will, as usual, be holding competitions for the best Guy – all Guys being thrown onto the bonfire, so don’t use Dad’s best cricket pullover!  There will also be a competition for the best pumpkin/turnip lantern, with prizes for all entrants in both competitions.  All are welcome to enter. Also for the kids, we will also be selling sparklers, soft drinks and more.

In case shelter is required, there is a big marquee on the field.  Hot pork rolls, soft drinks, mulled wine, hot dogs and more will be on sale in the marquee.
