Forget the gunpowder, treason and plot. One of England’s finest stately homes is breaking out the fireworks a little early this year with a spectacular display on Saturday, October 28th.

Instead of Guy Fawkes the inspiration for Beaulieu’s Fantasy Fireworks is the world of witches and wizards, with the pyrotechnics set to music from magical movies such as the Harry Potter adventures.

The start of the display will be marked by the lighting of a string of beacons and there will be the usual Beaulieu favourites to enjoy, with complimentary admission to the National Motor Museum and the Beaulieu Rides and Drives. There will also be fairground rides and sideshows, though these will cost you a little extra.

Admission to the fireworks event is from 3pm so there’s plenty of time to enjoy all the fun of the fair - the beacons will be lit at approximately 7pm.

Ticket prices on the day are £9.50 for adults, £6 for children aged between five and 17 and a top value family ticket at £26.50, which admits two adults and up to three children. Parking is free.
