Whoosh, bang, wow - Corby Fireworks returns for 2024

02 October 2024

The skies about Corby will be lit up with fireworks once again as the annual bonfire and fireworks returns on Tuesday 5 November.

Organised by North Northamptonshire Council, the free event will take place in the area around the Boating Lake, with the bonfire being lit at 7pm, followed by an impressive firework display from 7:30pm.

As with previous years, the popular torchlight procession led by Cllr Jason Smithers, North Northamptonshire Council Chair Cllr Lora Lawman and Chief Executive Adele Wylie, will leave from outside Corby International Pool at 6:30pm.

I know how loved this event is to the residents of Corby and wider North Northants area and every year thousands of people descend on the area around the Boating Lake to join the festivities.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved behind the scenes, including our fantastic sponsors and the teams who help make the event happen every year.Cllr Helen Howell, North Northamptonshire Council’s Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Sport, Leisure, Culture and Tourism

Road closures will be in place from 6pm with no access from the BP Fourways Garage, Cottingham Road along Westcott Way. Residents are being asked to follow directions from marshals to help keep everyone safe whilst watching the fireworks and torchlight procession.

This year’s event has been sponsored by Wilson Browne Solicitors, alongside Premier Roofing Systems Ltd, PILZ - the Spirit of Safety, Corby Fire Designs and Ace Furniture.
