Designed and produced by the team at GC Live and delivered by technical partners, 21CC Group, the Fawkes Festival promises an action-packed evening for all the family.
The extravaganza, being staged at four locations, features an exciting programme of events with entertainment, fairground rides, fabulous food and drink and a magnificent 20-minute fireworks display choreographed to lights, lasers and music – all with a beautiful country house as a backdrop.
Billed as a unique new way to experience both Halloween and Bonfire night, the festival runs from October 28 to November 5.
Geoff Crow, Director of 21CC Group said: “This is going to be Scotland’s biggest and best Fawkes Festival. Since the pandemic, there have been virtually no big shows like this around the country but we’re bringing these events back with a bang!”
The first fireworks spooktacular takes place at Dalkeith Country Park, just outside Edinburgh, on Saturday, October 28 with the festivities culminating in a Halloween-inspired fireworks show, set to classic Halloween tunes, with the grand vista of Dalkeith Palace as a backdrop.
The following night, Sunday, October 29, sees the Halloween Classics event move to Dean Castle Country Park, Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, where the pyrotechnics will light up the skies above Dean Castle.
On Saturday, November 4, Hopetoun House, South Queensferry, hosts the annual Hopetoun Bonfire and Family Fireworks Spectacular with the theme of ‘A Night At The Movies’. The evening will feature fireworks set to film scores and classic movie songs. There will be a real bonfire and a brilliant bungee jump amongst other exciting entertainment.
Then on the traditional night of gunpowder, treason and plot – Sunday, November 5 – it is the turn of Gosford House, East Lothian to showcase the ‘Movie Magic’ spectacular featuring a fireworks display to music with lights, sky trackers and lasers, plus entertainment including a DJ, bubbles, fire pits, marshmallows, hot chocolate and performers.
