Tickets – SOLD OUT

Tickets for tonight’s Fireworks Night & Fun Fair have SOLD OUT, after unprecedented demand saw record numbers of advanced sales.

The event, which includes the largest fireworks display in Derby, has regularly seen crowds in excess of 10,000 in recent years, although it was postponed in 2020 in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.

However, the return of the pyrotechnic extravaganza and huge Fun Fair has been met with great interest, with a record number of tickets sold before the Bonfire Night showpiece.

Derbyshire County Cricket Club looks forward to welcoming all guests to The Incora County Ground this evening, and we ask that anyone without a ticket does not travel to the event, as no tickets will be available on the gate.
