Camelot's Friday 6 November tickets are on sale, £30 a family until 9 October. Hobbs Hill Wood is 5 November, family £16; Berkhamsted and Tring are both the 7th.

Bonfire night 2026 falls on Thursday 5 November, and Dacorum now has a display on each of the three nights from Thursday to Saturday. All four have a 2026 date on the organiser’s own page, all four are selling tickets, and the two biggest have landed on the same Saturday night.

The quick answer

  • Thursday 5 November: Family Firework Spectacular, Hobbs Hill Wood Primary School, Hemel Hempstead. Gates 5.45pm, display 7pm. £16 a family in advance.

Updated 6 October: Camelot’s tickets are on sale, with early bird prices until 9 October and dearer prices on the night.

Updated 1 October: the Hobbs Hill Wood display is confirmed for 5 November and on sale; Berkhamsted’s ticket prices are published; Tring’s prices have risen by a few pence and its own website now shows 2026.

Everything below was checked on 6 October against the club, school or charity that actually runs the display, not against a listings site. Where a detail has not been published yet, this page says so rather than repeating last year’s.

Family Firework Spectacular, Hobbs Hill Wood: Thursday 5 November

The only display in the district on bonfire night itself is the Family Firework Spectacular on the playing fields at Hobbs Hill Wood Primary School, Peascroft Road, Hemel Hempstead HP3 8ER, run by 1st Leverstock Green Scout Group and the school (ticketebo.co.uk).

Gates open at 5.45pm, when refreshments go on sale, and the display is fired at 7pm. Prices:

Ticket Advance On the night
Family (two adults, two children) £16 £20
Adult (16 and over) £5 £6
Child (3 to 15) £4 £5

Advance tickets carry a booking fee of 79p on a family ticket and 25p and 20p on the single tickets, with a 75p minimum per order. Every ticket includes a hot or cold drink and a biscuit.

The organisers say this year’s display will be fired by Titanium Fireworks, choreographed to music, and will include aerial shells “that burst high above the ground with spectacular effects that you can both see and feel”. The children’s mini fairground rides are back, there will be more refreshment options than last year, and light rope necklaces are on sale. All profits go to the children in the two organising groups.

Advance is cheaper by a pound a head and £4 a family, and unlike Tring the gate is not closed to walk-ups. The family ticket is £1 more than in 2025, when it was £15 and sold only through codes handed to individual Scout groups.

Camelot Rugby Club, Hemel Hempstead: Friday 6 November

Camelot’s display is at Camelot RUFC, Chaulden Lane, Hemel Hempstead HP1 2BS, and the club’s calendar carries Fireworks Night on Friday 6 November 2026, tagged both “Club Event” and “Public Event” (camelotrfc.co.uk).

Tickets are now on sale through Zeffy, where the club promises a fireworks display, food, an outside bar and music (zeffy.com). Prices step up twice:

Ticket Early bird, until 9 October From 9 October On the night
Family (up to 5: two adults and up to three children) £30 £34 £38
Adult, 16 and over £9 £10 £12
Child, 6 to 15 £7 £7.50 £8

Under-5s go free. Concessions are £6 for an adult (students, over-60s, carers and disabled people) and £4 for a disabled child, with proof asked for at the gate. There are 20 disabled parking bays, free but only if pre-booked on the same page, with a Blue Badge or similar shown on entry. The on-the-night prices go on sale at 5pm on 6 November.

Zeffy lists the evening as running from 6pm to 11.30pm. The club has not published a separate display time, so plan on arriving from 6pm. Its phone number is 01442 230353 and its email is playrugby@camelotrfc.co.uk.

For comparison, the 2025 display ran on Friday 7 November with advance tickets at £5 a person and £20 for a group of five (zeffy.com), so this year’s family ticket is £10 dearer even at the early bird price.

Berkhamsted Fireworks: Saturday 7 November, on sale

Berkhamsted Rotary’s display is on Saturday 7 November 2026 at Berkhamsted Cricket Club, Castle Hill, Berkhamsted HP4 1HE, with gates at 5.30pm and the display at 7pm (ticketebo.co.uk). Tickets went on sale on 7 September at these advance prices:

Ticket Price Booking fee
Adult, 17 and over £12 59p
Child, 5 to 16 £8 40p
Family, two adults and two children £30 £1.49

The single tickets carry a 75p minimum fee per order. The organiser does not list a gate price, and tickets are non-refundable, on a display it says sold out last year. Of the four displays this is the most expensive for a family by some distance: £31.49 against £16.79 at Hobbs Hill Wood.

The gates have moved forward: in 2024 they opened at 6pm, and for 2026 they open at 5.30pm for a 7pm display, so the queue window is half an hour longer. The display is fired by Classic Fireworks with a coordinated soundtrack, there is a DJ and a bar, and food and drink are sold by the cricket club itself. The ground sits in the natural bowl of Kitchener’s Field below the castle. Berkhamsted Rotary is the trading name of Berkhamsted Rotary Trust Fund CIO, registered charity 1182564.

Tring Festival of Fire: Saturday 7 November, on sale

Tring has picked the same night. Tring Festival of Fire 2026 is on Saturday 7 November at Tring Park Cricket Club, London Road, Tring HP23 6HA, doors at 6pm and the event ending at 8.30pm. Tickets are on TicketSource at £8.41 to £15.76 including the booking fee, with group tickets at £26.28 to £33.63 (ticketsource.co.uk/festivaloffire). Those are a few pence up on the £8.30 to £15.57 listed in early September.

The festival’s own website, tringfireworks.co.uk, has now caught up. In early September it still led with the 2025 show; it now reads “Our next show is on Saturday November 7th 2026”, with a Book Tickets button.

Two things are worth knowing. First, there are no tickets on the gate: the event is advance-only. Second, the TicketSource page still shows “50+ tickets available”, and the listing notes the event has been “a sell out event for the last 5 years”, so the counter is not a reason to wait.

What you get for the money: a bonfire, a professional display set to music, a sparkler zone for younger children, a couple of rides, food stalls that in past years have included Akeman burgers, Ashridge Delicious, Howes fish and chips and Soleluna pizza, and a Tring Brewery beer tent. The first display at the ground was in 1964, and the money supports the cricket, hockey, tennis, lacrosse, running and youth football clubs that share the site.

If you want a running order, the club’s own calendar entry for a past year had doors at 6pm, the guy competition winner announced at 7pm with the bonfire lit and a mini display, the main fireworks at 7.20pm and close at 8.30pm. Treat that as the shape of the evening rather than a 2026 timetable.

Parking, and the two-displays-one-night problem

Berkhamsted and Tring are a short drive apart on the A4251 and both start on the evening of Saturday 7 November. If you are driving to either, the practical constraint is not the display, it is getting out afterwards.

For Hobbs Hill Wood, the school is on Peascroft Road in Bennetts End, a residential street. The organisers have not published parking arrangements.

For Berkhamsted, the cricket club is on Castle Hill, a narrow road on the north side of the canal and railway. Dacorum’s Berkhamsted car parks are the realistic option, and the council’s published charging hours are 8am to 6pm, Monday to Sunday, which puts an evening arrival outside the charged period off-street. Frogmore Street East gives a free first hour while Frogmore Street West, the same street, charges £3.10; Bournside is free only to Blue Badge holders and motorcycles. Our parking in Hemel Hempstead and the district page has the full tariff picture, including which on-street zones run to 8pm and 10pm.

For Tring, the cricket club is on London Road opposite Tesco. The club has not published parking arrangements for 2026.

None of the four displays has a published road closure. We checked the Hertfordshire traffic notices on the Public Notice Portal on 6 October and there is no event order for any of them yet; check the Hemel Hempstead roadworks and travel page nearer the date. Castle Hill and Murray Road were closed for three days from 11 September for the Berko Fields festival, which shows the council is willing to shut that stretch for an event on the same ground.

What is still missing

  • Camelot RUFC: a display time within the 6pm to 11.30pm evening.
  • All four: parking arrangements and any road closure. We checked the Public Notice Portal again on 6 October and found no event order.

This page is checked against those four sources and will be updated as each one publishes. If you organise a display in Dacorum that is not listed here, tell us and we will add it.

The week before, Hemel’s Old Town has its own free fireworks at the Old Town Halloween event on Sunday 25 October. After bonfire night the district’s festive dates begin. Berkhamsted’s Festival of Light is fixed for Sunday 22 November and Tring Together’s Christmas Festival for Saturday 28 November, while Hemel Hempstead’s Christmas lights switch-on still has no 2026 date.
