Gentle low-bang fireworks set to Disney music, with fire performers, stilt walkers, torchlight animal visits and sparklers at Bluebell Dairy.
Bluebell Dairy is running its Low-Bang Fireworks Night on the 1st, 5th, 6th and 7th of November, so there are four dates to choose from rather than just one. The fireworks are set to a soundtrack of Disney favourites, and they're called 'low-bang' for a reason: they sizzle and gently pop instead of making loud bangs, which makes them a bit easier on little ears and better for nervous visitors or pets. It's a gentler, cosier way to do fireworks if you're not into the big explosions.
There's more to the night than just the display. Around the fireworks, the farm brings in fire performers and stilt walkers, and there are illuminated indoor and outdoor play areas to keep kids occupied. You can also meet the animals by torchlight, and there's a dedicated zone for lighting real sparklers. For food, they've got warm home-cooked meals, bonfire Sundaes, and toasted marshmallows by the fire.
Bluebell Dairy is on Brunswood Farm in Spondon, just two miles from Derby city centre. It's a family-run attraction known for hands-on animal experiences like lamb and calf bottle feeding, animal adoptions, and interactive farm demonstrations. They also run seasonal events throughout the year, including Choccy Woccy Easter, autumn pumpkin picking, and Santa's Enchanted Christmas. Earlier this year, they won Family Experience of the Year at the Muddy Stilettos Regional Awards for Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire 2026.
