Family Bonfire Night - Glebe in Leicestershire

What To Expect

For one of the best family bonfire nights around, why not join us on Saturday 4th November at Glebe Garden Centre by Cherry Lane in Leicestershire! With a massive bonfire, tasty refreshments, music and of course – fantastic fireworks, come and join us whilst we help to raise funds to support our local Countesthorpe Scout Group.

This year, gates will open at 5.30pm and the garden centre will stay open until 6.30pm, so why not arrive early, have a look around and grab a coffee and cake in the café.  You’ll find there’s plenty to do, with fair rides for toddlers, fab food such as burger, chips and proper bonfire night treats of candy floss from the vans on site; why not sing along with the DJ while you get ready for the countdown to light the fire at 6.30pm.

With over 3,800 attending in 2022, Glebe Garden Centre by Cherry Lane is the place to be to watch over 20 minutes of amazing fireworks in a safe, family friendly environment. Rockets will be launched at 7.00pm!

We are also pleased to be able to offer a disabled viewing area on our easy to access patio, next to the café, although we’re sorry but we’ll have to restrict numbers in the area for safety reasons. Please contact the garden centre on 0116 277 1570 to arrange use of this space.

A single ticket (anyone over the age of 5) £7.00. 

Advanced tickets are available online until 4.30pm on the day.

Sorry, but for safety, all under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult.

Parking Information

We are improving your local garden centre!

Due to site development, we have limited parking spaces this year.

Please be considerate if you are choosing to park your vehicle on-site for the Bonfire Night event.

If it is possible to do so, please find alternative parking arrangements and walk.

This will enable us to give priority parking to those most in need.

In the past we’ve had lots of people arriving with minutes to spare just before the fireworks; so why not arrive early and take advantage of the fun, food and find yourself a great viewpoint… and it could help you to beat the queues!

For Your Safety

Your safety is our paramount concern, so please note that alcohol, fireworks and sparklers are not allowed on site.

Because we want to keep you out of harms’ way whilst you watch the fire and fireworks, fencing is installed to keep you at a safe distance.

We’re looking out for you – so we have an established evacuation procedure, marshals on site, a 1st Aid spot and lost children points.

We make sure we have everything covered so you can enjoy yourself and have a great time!

Please note that in the event of adverse weather, we do reserve the right to cancel the event – but I don’t think anyone would enjoy standing in a flooded field during torrential rain, howling gales or a snowstorm!
