The skies above North Yorkshire will come alive this weekend as Newby Hall and Gardens hosts the spectacular Fireworks Championships.

On Saturday (23 August), three of the UK’s leading pyrotechnics companies will go head-to-head, each putting on a ten minute display synchronised to music in a bid to claim the title.

The audience will have the final say, casting votes from their mobile phones to decide the winner, before the night ends with a magnificent firework finale that will light up the historic grounds.

Gates open from 4pm, giving visitors plenty of time to enjoy a picnic or explore the gardens before the entertainment begins.

At 8:45pm, a drone show will set the scene, before the fireworks burst into action from 9pm.

Stuart Gill, commercial director at Newby Hall, said:

“Our annual fireworks championships feature spectacular displays by some of the UK’s leading fireworks companies. It’s a great evening of entertainment set in the beautiful parkland at Newby.”

Advance tickets are priced at £30 for adults and £20 for children, with under-fives going free.

Tickets on the day will be £35 for adults and £25 for children. Camping is also available from 1pm for £16 per adult, with under-16s staying free.
