Firework Display

This year tickets are ONLY able to be purchased online From 1st October -  Buy tickets for Ringwood Grand Fireworks 2026 – Ringwood Grand Fireworks 2026 – Carvers Recreation Ground

Tickets will be sold in tiers:

Super Early Bird tickets available for £3 plus booking fee - available until 8th October.
Early Bird tickets available for £3.85 plus booking fee - available from 13th October - 19th October.
Normal tickets available for £5.50 plus booking fee - from 20th October onwards.
Children aged 4 and under are FREE as are disabled people and a carer. We normally give away around 20% of our tickets for free to these groups. 

Please note you can ONLY buy tickets online. They will be available until sold out or 6pm on the day of the event (whichever is sooner).

In the past you have been able to buy tickets in advance or on the gate so we realise this is a big change! There are lots of reasons why:

- You asked! Every year we have people ask why they can't buy tickets online or over the phone. So we listened!
- For your safety and comfort. The event has got busier and busier. We dont want to turn people away on the gate so by selling tickets on line we can manage numbers. This is also why we can't sell tickets on the gate. 
- For security, to remove the need to have lots of cash at the event. 

The tickets come from ringwoodtowncouncil@buytickets.at. Please check your junk folder as many people have found them there. If you still can't find them, please email events@ringwood.gov.uk. You won't get a reply Saturday 31st October but someone will try and get back to you before 3pm Sunday. There will be people on hand to help on the night, don't worry!

3pm - 5pm: Children's Entertainment with Mascots

Yes, these will be delivered in mid-October. 

If there has been a fair bit of wet weather the ground is quite soft. We would always suggest footwear that you don't mind getting muddy!

We expect the event to go ahead if its raining. If, for safety reasons, we do have to cancel we will put notices up on Facebook, instagram and the Town Council website and we will email you through the ticketing company.

Super Early Bird and Early Bird tickets are NON-REFUNDABLE, even if the event is cancelled. We incur costs even if the event does not go ahead (due to the weather for example) and so this covers council tax payers in Ringwood against those costs.

Tickets bought after the 20th October are refundable if the event does not go ahead. We do not give refunds for any other reason (such as changing of mind, illness and so on).

Yes, there will be plenty of options available. This includes bratwurst, crepes, pizza and a charity bar run by Ringwood Roundtable. Carvers Clubhouse will be open as well with a special menu. 

If you are able, the best way to get there is to walk.

There are two entrances:

- Carvers Lane https://w3w.co/results.airtime.bagpipes- we recommend you enter via this gate. It's quieter so you won't have to queue for as long and the access is easier. 
- Southampton Road: https://w3w.co/forced.fattening.wired 

If you need to drive please note there is no parking at Carvers. Please park in the main town centre car parks, Carvers Recreation Ground is a 5 minute walk, taken from the New Forest District Council website, Town and village parking - New Forest District Council:
