Following the huge success of our 2025 event, we're delighted to announce that the Guildford Lions Fireworks Festival returns on Saturday 7 November 2026! Tickets go on sale in SEPTEMBER!
Join us for one of Guildford's biggest family events, with fantastic live entertainment, children's attractions, great food and drink, and a spectacular fireworks finale.
❤️ Supporting our community
This is a charity event and every penny of profit goes back into our local community. This year, proceeds will support:
Guildford Lions Club's Community Welfare Fund, helping local individuals, families and community organisations.
Guildford Shakespeare Company's "Put Up Your Swords" programme, helping to tackle knife crime through education and creativity.
Using Romeo and Juliet as its inspiration, Put Up Your Swords works with young people to explore the real-life consequences of knife crime through drama, discussion and creative workshops. The programme is delivered in partnership with Surrey Police, Crimestoppers (Fearless), the University of Surrey and leading knife crime charities, and is expanding to reach even more Surrey schools in 2026.
Guildford Shakespeare Company celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2026 and is one of the UK's leading independent theatre companies, providing more than 29,000 community engagement opportunities every year.
By buying a ticket, you'll be helping to support both these fantastic local causes.
