Caldicot Castle will host its annual fireworks spectacular on Sunday 3rd November, with gates opening at 4.30pm and a display lasting over 20 minutes starting at approximately 7pm.

Organised by Monmouthshire County Council, in association with the Monmouthshire Building Society, supported by Caldicot Town Council and community volunteer organisations, and in partnership with Capital FM, it attracts large crowds and has become increasingly popular.  It's no ordinary show, as the castle walls are a stunning backdrop to an astonishing spectacle of fireworks, music and incredible lights painting the night sky.

Tickets go on general sale from 14th October, costing £7.50 for adults and £4.50 for children, as well as further information, are available by visiting www.visitmonmouthshire.com/fireworks. Children under three get free entry but will still require a ticket to attend.

A range of great deals are available for local residents, proof of address will be required.  An early bird discount of 20% will be on offer from 1st – 6th October at Caldicot Castle’s shop between 11 am – 4 pm and after 4 pm from Caldicot Leisure Centre.

A 10% discount will be available from11 am – 4 pm on 8th – 13th October Caldicot Castle’s shop and after 4 pm from Caldicot Leisure Centre.

Organisers stress that this is a ticket-only event, no tickets will be on sale at the gate and residents should avoid disappointment by purchasing early as tickets sold out last year.  Children under 13 must be accompanied by an adult.

Free parking is available at the local Asda supermarket, Castle Gate and the Jubilee Way car park in the centre of Caldicot.  In addition to fireworks, there will be live music and entertainment from Capital FM, children's funfair rides, a licensed bar, food and drink stands.

County Councillor Richard John, Monmouthshire’s cabinet member with responsibility for leisure and tourism said:

“This will be the seventh year we’ve held a spectacular firework display at Caldicot Castle. The location provides the perfect backdrop for a magical evening of fun and fireworks. Families can look forward to a fabulous display and great entertainment.”
