Bonfire & Fireworks at Astley Park
Friday 4 November 2022
Join us in Astley Park, Chorley to celebrate Bonfire Night on Friday 4 November, with a traditional bonfire and spectacular fireworks display from 6.30pm – 8pm!
This is a fun event for all the family, with the bonfire lit at 7pm and the fireworks display at 7.30pm. Entry to the event is FREE, however donations are welcome on the night for the Mayor’s nominated charities.
Important safety information
This year we have made some changes to the layout of the Bonfire event, including moving the firing zone and food village to ensure the area is less congested than last year.
We will not be closing the pathway at all this year so this can be accessed at all times including before, during and after the display.
The firing zone has been moved to the eastern part of the field close to the Pavilion. Please stay out of the firing zone at all times. The rest of the park will remain open throughout the event.
Please listen to the stewards instructions and any tannoy announcements made during the night. This will ensure the smoothest and safest event can take place.
Please dress for the weather including wearing appropriate footwear. Paths will be available however people can stand on the grass if they wish but be mindful this can be slippy.
No sparklers or public fireworks will be allowed at the event for health and safety reasons. Children’s play areas will be closed for the event.

Free parking will be available from 5pm in Chorley town centre. You can view further information on town centre parking here.

There is no parking for the event on the residential streets in Astley Village and restrictions will be put in place. Parking on Chancery Road will NOT BE PERMITTED to enable access for emergency vehicles.
