The rugby club's last ever display is 7 November, fireworks 7pm, £25 a family; Cammas Hall Farm runs 7 and 8 November at £36.50 a car. Updated November 2026.
The fireworks still to come in Bishop’s Stortford are the rugby club’s last ever display, on Saturday 7 November at Silver Leys, Hadham Road, CM23 2QE, with gates at 5pm and fireworks at 7pm (Bishop’s Stortford RFC on Ticket Tailor). The Round Table’s free Parsonage Lane display was on Sunday 1 November. Just outside town, Cammas Hall Farm at Hatfield Broad Oak has a bonfire and fireworks on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November, sold by the car (Cammas Hall Farm).

Updated 3 October: the rugby club has put its 2026 display on sale for 7 November, after having no date on 1 October; and the Round Table’s free Parsonage Lane display on 1 November, which this page previously missed, is added below.
Parsonage Lane Fireworks, Sunday 1 November (free, now passed)
This display has taken place. Bishop’s Stortford Round Table’s page for it read “will be back this year on 1 November 2026”, at Parsonage Lane Park (Bishop’s Stortford Round Table):
| 2026 | |
|---|---|
| Date | Sunday 1 November 2026 |
| Gates | 5.30pm |
| Fire show | 6pm, fire dancing and fire eating by Taylor Made Events |
| Fireworks | 6.30pm, by Illuminatus Pyrotechnics |
| Tickets | None. Non-ticketed, with a bucket collection |
| Suggested donation | £15 for a family of four |
The Round Table says the money raised goes to the Bishop’s Stortford Round Table Charitable Trust Fund (registered charity 1187389), to pay for next year’s display, with any surplus to local charities.
Bishop’s Stortford RFC display, Saturday 7 November (ticketed)
The 2026 listing, titled “Bishop’s Stortford Rugby Club Fireworks Display 2026”, went live on the club’s Ticket Tailor box office, which is where its own ticket domain, bsrfctickets.co.uk, now redirects. It now opens: “After 35 years of entertaining Bishops Stortford, this is our Last Ever Fireworks Display !!” The club has not said why it is stopping. It sets out:
| 2026 | |
|---|---|
| Date | Saturday 7 November 2026 |
| Times | Gates 5pm, fireworks 7pm, event ends 10.30pm |
| Venue | Bishop’s Stortford Rugby Club, CM23 2QE |
| Family (2 adults + 2 children) | £25 |
| Over 16s | £10 |
| Under 16s | £5 |
| Under 3s | Free |
| Fireworks | Essex Pyrotechnics |
| Road closures | None published |
The evening is billed as “a spectacular evening of family fun, food & fireworks”: children’s funfair rides, food trucks, a sweet stall, hot drinks, a bar, live music and light-up toys before the display, then a DJ and live bands after it. Prices are the same as in 2025.
The display is not in the club’s own events calendar at bsrfc.co.uk, which lists rugby fixtures only, so the Ticket Tailor page is the one to trust.
Cammas Hall Farm, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 November (ticketed, per car)
Cammas Hall Farm, at Needham Green, Hatfield Broad Oak, CM22 7JT, south-east of the town, is running a bonfire and what it calls “a professional pyromusical show” on two nights (Cammas Hall Farm):
| Saturday 7 November | Sunday 8 November | |
|---|---|---|
| Gates open | 4pm | 4pm |
| Bonfire lit | 5.30pm | 5pm |
| Fireworks | 7pm | 6.30pm |
| Gates close | 8pm | 7.30pm |
Admission is £36.50 per vehicle plus a £3 booking fee (£39.50 at checkout), for up to seven people in the car; every ticket must be pre-booked. The farm sells by the car so that it can guarantee parking. There is a drinks tent, hot drinks and snacks, a DJ, a barbecue with vegan options, hot dogs and ice cream; food orders must be placed before 6pm. The town council’s events list carries the same times (Bishop’s Stortford Town Council).
The rules that catch people out
For the rugby club’s display, from its ticket page:
- Buy in advance. E-tickets only, scanned on arrival, and no cash sales at the gate.
- No on-site parking. Park considerately and do not block Patmore Close.
- No sparklers, no dogs, no re-admittance.
- Cash and card are accepted inside, except £50 notes.
- No refunds unless the fireworks cannot go ahead.
The club advises arriving early to avoid queues.
Getting there and parking
Silver Leys is on Hadham Road, on the west side of town. With no parking at the ground, plan to walk from the town centre or be dropped off; tariffs for each council car park are on our parking page, and anything closing on the night will be on the roadworks and travel page.
The dates the rugby club display has run
The Silver Leys display is an annual fundraiser for the club. Its own ticketing shows the run:
| Year | Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Saturday 4 November | The 20th annual display |
| 2024 | Saturday 2 November | Billed as the “21st Annual Fireworks Display” |
| 2025 | Saturday 1 November | Gates 5pm, fireworks 7pm |
| 2026 | Saturday 7 November | Gates 5pm, fireworks 7pm; billed as the last ever |
The other Saturday it could have taken, 31 October, is already a home match day at Silver Leys: the 1st XV play Plymouth Albion that afternoon.
The planning had looked uncertain. On 31 August 2026 the club posted “BSRFC Fireworks 2026 - Lead Organiser needed”, saying that after two years leading “our major fund-raising event”, Kate Tanfield had stepped down (Bishop’s Stortford RFC). The event is now on sale for its usual early-November slot.
Nearby displays
- Harlow, now passed. Harlow Council’s bonfire and fireworks night at the Showground in Harlow Town Park was on Sunday 1 November 2026 (Harlow Council).
- Hertford. The Go Hertford listing for a low-noise display at Waterford Village Hall was still dated 2 November 2025 on 3 October 2026, so there is no 2026 date yet (Go Hertford).
- Stansted Mountfitchet: gone. The parish council says it can no longer host a display, because Burnt Mill Academy Trust got Football Association approval for an astro pitch on the Forest Hall School field, and Elms Farm and the Recreation Ground were both ruled out as unsafe. The 2024 display, the first since 2019, drew over 3,200 people (Stansted Mountfitchet Parish Council).
Bonfire night itself falls on Thursday 5 November 2026.
