Blackgang Chine Summer Fest 2025 – Fireworks, Foam, and Wild West Fun on the Isle of Wight

Looking for a summer holiday night out that ticks every box — family-friendly, thrill-packed, foam-filled, and finished with a proper fireworks finale? Blackgang Chine has you covered every Wednesday evening through August 2025, with Summer Fest nights running until Wednesday 27th August.

Set on the dramatic cliffs of the Isle of Wight’s southern coast, Blackgang Chine is the UK’s oldest amusement park — and they’re not afraid to let their wild side out when the sun goes down. From foam cannons and confetti blasts to a Wild West shootout and a full-throttle firework display, Summer Fest is everything a school holiday adventure should be: loud, lively, and a little bit bonkers in the best way possible.

What’s On at Blackgang Chine Summer Fest

Daytime Adventures Before the Party Starts

One ticket doesn’t just get you into the party — it gets you the full Blackgang experience. Your general admission includes access to the park’s themed areas all day long, meaning you can explore Dinosaur Land, Fairyland, Underwater Kingdom and more before the Summer Fest fun kicks off in the evening.

Better still, your ticket comes with seven days of unlimited free returns, so you can go back and do it all again without paying a penny more.

Wild West Wednesdays Ride Again

Every Summer Fest Wednesday brings a new dose of action to Cowboy Town, with stunt shows, saloon brawls and enough shootouts to satisfy even the most trigger-happy cowboy (don’t worry — it’s all family-friendly). Blackgang’s brand-new cowboy show for 2025 promises even more yeehaws, dust-ups and dramatic duels.

Need to refuel after all the Wild West chaos? Mosey on down to La Cantina for hot dogs, burgers, drinks and ice creams to keep you going into the evening.

Live Music, Foam Cannons and Laser Lights

As the sun starts to dip, Blackgang’s resident DJ takes to the stage from 6.30pm, cranking out high-energy tunes guaranteed to get even the most reluctant dancers tapping their feet. Expect classic summer bangers, family favourites and hands-in-the-air anthems.

From 8pm, the vibe gets even bigger. Foam cannons fire up, confetti rains down, and lasers light up the sky. It’s a full-sensory, full-volume, full-throttle party where both grown-ups and kids can let loose.

The Fireworks Finale

To top it all off? A firework finale at around 9.30pm — the perfect way to end a summer’s evening on the Isle of Wight. Expect colour, noise, and the kind of big-sky beauty only a coastal cliff-top display can deliver.

Why Summer Fest Is a Must-Do

This isn’t just a fireworks night. It’s a foam party, laser rave, Wild West drama and music festival all rolled into one — and it’s one of the most unique family nights out on the island.

Whether you’re five, fifteen or fifty, Summer Fest offers something genuinely different — and that’s before the fireworks even start.

If you’re on the Isle of Wight in August and only have one night free, make it a Wednesday. And if you’re already planning your holiday, this should absolutely be on your to-do list.
