Everything You Need To Know About Sheffield Autumn Lights 2024

Get ready, Sheffield! The Autumn Lights event is set to return for another year of spectacular fireworks, music, and family fun at Don Valley Bowl on Saturday, 5th November 2024. If you’re looking for a fantastic way to celebrate Bonfire Night, then this is the place to be!

What to Expect at Sheffield Autumn Lights

Sheffield Autumn Lights has something for everyone. From funfair rides to live performances, it’s an event designed for the whole family. The festivities kick off at 4pm, with stage entertainment that will keep you entertained all evening. Expect to see fire performers, the energetic Spark Drummer Show, and live music to keep the vibes high throughout the night.

As the sky darkens, the real magic begins. There will be not one, but two pyromusical firework displays lighting up the night. The first display will start at 19:30, followed by a grand finale at 20:45. Trust us, you won't want to miss a moment of these dazzling shows.

Throughout the event, DJ Ryan Swain will be spinning the tunes, keeping the energy buzzing. Meanwhile, you can explore the family funfair, and grab a bite to eat at one of the many street food stalls. Whether you fancy something sweet or savoury, you’re sure to find it here.

The fireworks are sure to be a highlight, but remember they can be loud! If you’re bringing little ones, think about bringing ear defenders to keep everyone comfortable. You can also purchase these on the gate or at the bar during the event.
