FOBS Fireworks 2026

FOBS Fireworks 2026 is on at Brook Field Primary School on Thursday 5 November, the school's annual fireworks display run by the Friends of Brook Field School. It's a proper community night, put on by the school's PTA, which is a registered charity (Charity Commission number 1116951) based right there on the school site.

The evening kicks off at 6pm when the gates open, and the fireworks display follows around 7pm, running for about 20 to 25 minutes. It's a relatively short, sharp burst of a show, so you'll be in and out without it stretching late into the night. There's hot food, sweet treats, and both hot and cold drinks on hand, so you can grab something to eat and drink while you wait for the display to start.

One thing to keep in mind is that there's no parking at the school itself, so you'll need to leave your car elsewhere. The nearest car parks are at Roughour Way and the Shaw shops, both a short walk away. The whole thing is run by volunteers who man the tickets, the BBQ, the drinks, and the marshalling, so it's a local effort from start to finish.

Tickets are £20 for a family ticket, which covers two adults and two children, or one adult and three children. Individual adult tickets (for over 12s) are £8, and child tickets are £6, with under-3s getting in free. Gates open at 6pm, the display starts around 7pm, and the school is at Cartwright Drive, Shaw, Swindon, SN5 5SB.
