Chatsworth Bonfire and Fireworks 2026
October 30 @ 6:00 pm – October 31 @ 9:15 pm
Chatsworth’s annual bonfire and fireworks event takes place over two evenings at the end of October.
The bonfire is due to be lit at 6.45pm, followed by an earlier children’s fireworks display at 7.45pm and the main fireworks display at 8.30pm. Family entertainment runs during the evening.
Tickets currently cost £24 for adults and £17 for children. A pre-event dinner at the Cavendish Restaurant can also be added when booking.
Because this is one of the larger autumn events close to Bakewell, advance booking is sensible.
