Compton Abbas Fireworks Night!
Bring your best oooohs and aaaahs up to Compton Abbas Airfield from 6pm on Saturday 04 November 2023 as we host our first ever fireworks display! The Gritchie Horse Box and the airfield bar will be serving our finest Gritchie brew, and there will be hotdogs, burgers and more to feast on. In addition to a spectacular fireworks display lighting the night sky, Kirsty Austin and her vintage tunes and Blackmore Vale Brass will be warming the crisp night air of early winter before and after the display. Come for the fireworks and stick around for the beer, food and music!
Don’t miss out and book your parking ticket (£10 per car) here!* If arriving on foot, there is a £5 charge for all adults on the gate – children under 14 get in free.
Can’t wait to see you all up here!
*Please Note: Tickets may be refund only if there can be no fireworks due to very poor weather conditions.
