The big one
The biggest night in our calendar
Every autumn, thousands of people from Whitefield, Prestwich and across north Manchester come up Park Lane for one night. The pitch goes dark, the sky goes up, and everybody stands there with their head tilted back.
It is back for 2026 on Saturday 31st October. Same professional display fired over the main pitch, and the bar open from the moment the gates go back.
What's on
A full professional fireworks display after dark. Children's entertainment through the evening, food vendors on site, and a children's sparkler area. The clubhouse bar is open all night for anyone who fancies watching from somewhere warmer.
It is a proper community night, run entirely by our volunteers. Every ticket goes back into the club, its teams and its junior section.
Advance tickets
Buy one ticket for everybody coming. Your confirmation email is your ticket, so just show it on your phone at the gate.

Your questions, answered
How much are tickets?
£10 per adult and £2.50 per under 18, bought in advance through this page. You can buy both on the same screen and pay in one go. Buying in advance is the cheapest way in and saves you queueing on the night.
How do we get there? Is there parking?
There is no parking on site. The easiest way to get to us is by bus, using the nearest stop to Park Lane, or on foot if you live locally. If you have to drive, please park considerately on the surrounding streets.
What time should we arrive?
Gates open at 4:00pm and the fireworks go up after dark. Come early if you want a good spot and first pick of the food vendors.
How do I get my tickets?
Your order confirmation email is your ticket. There is nothing to print. Just show it on your phone at the gate and we will scan you in.
Is there anything for the kids?
Plenty. There is children's entertainment through the evening and a dedicated children's sparkler area, as well as the display itself.
Is there food and a bar?
Yes. Food vendors are on site through the evening and the clubhouse bar is open all night, so you can watch from somewhere warmer if you would rather.
Can we bring our own fireworks?
No, please leave them at home. It is a licensed professional display and we have to keep the ground clear of anything else. There is a children's sparkler area on site.
What happens if the weather is bad?
The display goes ahead in most weather. If it ever has to be called off on safety grounds we will email everybody who has bought a ticket.
