Posted: 16:18 August 8, 2022

Organizers of a popular fireworks display at a Norfolk attraction have promised this year’s event will be the biggest yet.

Tickets are selling fast for the Wroxham Barns Fireworks on Thursday 3 November and Friday 4 November between 5.30pm and 8.30pm.

Wroxham Barns have now confirmed that the event, which focuses on child-friendly music, has already sold 50% of tickets.

Ben Marshall, general manager of Wroxham Barns, said: “We have a much bigger space so we can accommodate a lot more people than we ever have before.

“Once again, we have increased the budget for fireworks.

“With a capacity of up to 1,500 people, everyone gets their own pitch so they can feel nice and remote.”

The attraction is known for its spectacular fireworks display, having held a New Year’s Eve event last year that was accompanied by Disney music.

This year the exhibition will again be a quiet event to avoid disturbing nearby animals or upsetting small children.

Mr Marshall added that the event will feature kid-friendly music that everyone will know and love.

He said: “We have had very good feedback for our low burst events from young children and people who are nervous about fireworks.

“It really is a packed night out and there’s plenty for everyone to enjoy.”

Tickets cost £65 per socially distanced square of up to six people and must be booked in advance.

There will be theme park rides and junior farm entry included in the ticket price, while the food areas will also be open along with the food trucks and bar.

Wroxham Barns was recently named one of the best campsites in the UK.

In a list by The Telegraph rounding up some of the best places to make the most of nature, it is described as ideal for “social types” and for entertaining children with “farm animals and newfound friends”.

It also comes after a 12-acre funfield was opened at the site earlier this summer.
