Funfair and fireworks display returning to Accrington Stanley

Accrington Stanley’s popular Funfair and Fireworks display will return to the Wham Stadium for a seventh year on November 3, with advance tickets now on sale.

Sponsored by Hyndburn Borough Council, the event will get underway at 5pm until 10pm, with the fireworks display taking place at approximately 7:30pm.

The club’s Fanzone will be open on the night, as well as the Clayton End kiosks, with hot and cold drinks, including beers and wine being served. There will also be burgers, hotdogs and pie & peas on offer.

Coley’s, part of Stanley’s world class hospitality venue, will also be open on the night, with visitors able to embrace the wonderful facilities on offer.

Early Bird tickets can be purchased prior to the day of the event from the club shop, with £4 for adults, £2 for under 16s, and £10 for a family ticket which includes two adults and two under 16s. Advance ticket purchase is recommended to avoid disappointment. 

With the fireworks display taking place at the Coppice End of the Wham Stadium, standing tickets are available for the Farleys Solicitors Stand (Clayton End), with unreserved seating tickets available for both the HML Recycling Jack Barrett Main Stand and the iMEP Eric Whalley Family Stand.

For safety purposes, those bringing pushchairs or prams should purchase tickets in the seated stands. Also, dedicated spaces are available for wheelchair users and carers.

Alongside the fireworks, there will be a fantastic funfair provided by John Collins Funfairs, with entertainment for all the family guaranteed.

Warren Eastham, Commercial Director at Accrington Stanley, said: “Our Funfair and Fireworks event is one of the most popular firework displays in the area and every year we receive great demand for tickets.

“For anyone looking to attend this year, we would advise taking advantage of the advance ticket offer to avoid disappointment.

“With the funfair, fireworks, food and drink, we have got entertainment for all the family and it is always a really amazing community atmosphere here at the Wham Stadium.”

Councillor Kimberley Whitehead, portfolio holder for culture, heritage and arts, said: “Hyndburn Borough Council have sponsored this event for a number of years, and we are keen to show our support for the club, and the great community space and events that they provide.”

Anybody under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult and entry could be refused if an adult is not present.
