The countdown to Northampton’s annual Fireworks Spectacular is on! This large-scale pyro-musical event attracts thousands of visitors every year. Entry is FREE, with entertainment for all the family.

BBC Radio Northampton host the live stage entertainment from 4pm with local presenter Justin Dealey.

The evening will be topped off with a spectacular Pyro-musical Fireworks Finale at 6pm.

The local story of The Gunpowder Plot will play on big screens, with the Northampton Film Festival telling the tale of how history’s most infamous attempt to bring down the Houses of Parliament has links to the county and resulted in the eponymous Guy Fawkes Night. Recruiting local talent, the film features many wonderful Northampton and Northamptonshire locations that played a pivotal role in the origins of the fifth of November, including Delapre Abbey, Rushton Hall and Ashby Manor House. Commissioned by NTC.

Bringing this special year of commemorations for the 350th Anniversary of The Great Fire of Northampton to a close, 2025’s fireworks event will pay tribute to this significant milestone in Northampton’s history. The Explore Northampton App Virtual Trail will be showcased on the big screens; step back in time to 1675 with a free family adventure in the town centre and learn more about Northampton’s heritage. Commissioned by NTC, produced by AR Media.

“There’s nothing quite like the buzz of a Northampton crowd on fireworks night, and hosting the stage for the town is a proper honour. It’ll be loud just like me! and joyful just like BBC local radio, bringing people together for unforgettable moments.” Justin Dealey, BBC Radio Northampton
