If you are after a big night out for Halloween, Fireworks Fantasia is back at the Lincolnshire Showground on Saturday 31 October, and it is not a small affair. Billed as the largest fireworks show in Lincoln, it runs from 4pm to 9pm, so there is plenty to do before the displays even start. The headline act is a pair of award-winning displays by Gala Fireworks: a junior one at 6.30pm for younger children and the main event at 9pm.

What fills the hours in between is where the event earns its other name, the Halloween Spooktacular. Shrek and other children's characters roam the showground, there is a motorcycle stunt show by the Broke FMX team, and monster truck rides that you book on the day. A large family funfair keeps the rides going, and a catering court does hot and cold food if you want to eat on site. For the Halloween side of things, expect spooky special guests, stalls, pumpkin carving, and apple-bobbing, with a prize for the best dressed. Live music comes from The Highlights, a three-piece act playing country, pop classics and 1980s hits.
On price, it is £17 for adults and £11 for children, with under-fives free. Family tickets covering two adults and three children aged 5 to 15 are available through the organisers, Live Promotions. LincsOnline is also running a competition for four family tickets, so if you would rather not pay, it is worth filling in their form before 10am on Wednesday 28 October. One rule to be clear on: do not bring your own sparklers or fireworks to the site.
Getting there is straightforward. The Lincolnshire Showground sits about 3.4 miles north of Lincoln at Grange-de-Lings, LN2 2NA, and the site is owned by the Lincolnshire Agricultural Society. It covers 270 acres of outdoor space with 1,000 car spaces and 10 coach spaces, and parking is free for over 13,000 vehicles, so you should not struggle for a spot. There is also the Epic Centre on site, an indoor space that holds up to 1,200 people.
If you want to make a full Halloween evening of it, the city has other things on the same night. The Original Lincoln Ghost Walk runs from Castle Hill at 6.45pm, 7pm and 7.15pm, at £10 for adults and £5 for children under 12, cash only. Elsewhere in the region, Rand Farm Park puts on its Frontier: Pumpkin Festival from 2pm, starting at £6.75, and Lincoln Central Library runs a ghostly carriage ride between 2pm and 3pm for £1.50. Between the two, you could easily build a whole day of it, but the fireworks are the obvious centrepiece for the evening.
