Glitter n Glow Firework Festival 2026 at Thruxton Race Circuit

A spectacular fireworks night expected to return this November

The Glitter n Glow Firework Festival is set to return to Thruxton Race Circuit on Saturday 7 November 2026, following the success of previous years. Hosted by Andover Community Events, this much-loved fireworks event has quickly become a firm favourite for families across Andover and Hampshire.

While full details for 2026 are still to be confirmed, this generic listing has been created so you can plan ahead. Specific timings, ticket prices, and entertainment details will be added once officially announced.

What the Glitter n Glow Firework Festival is all about

Glitter n Glow is designed as a full evening experience, not just a fireworks display. Previous events have combined spectacular fireworks with live music, glowing entertainment, funfair rides, and a lively festival atmosphere.

The wide-open setting of Thruxton Race Circuit creates the perfect backdrop for a big, bold fireworks show, with plenty of space for families to enjoy the evening comfortably.

Expect colour, noise, excitement, and that unmistakable buzz that only a large community fireworks night can deliver.

A brilliant night out for families and friends

This event is particularly popular with families looking for a safe, organised Bonfire Night-style experience. The festival-style setup means there is lots to enjoy before the fireworks begin, helping to build excitement and keep younger visitors entertained.

Adults enjoy the relaxed layout, food options, and live music, while children love the funfair rides and glowing elements that give the event its name.

It is the kind of evening where you arrive early, settle in, and make a night of it.

Supporting local causes

One of the standout features of the Glitter n Glow Firework Festival is its strong community focus. In previous years, all profits have gone to local charities, including Koala, adding an extra reason to support the event.

By attending, visitors are not only enjoying a great night out but also helping to give back to the local community.

A trusted venue with easy access

Thruxton Race Circuit is well known for hosting large-scale events and is well suited to fireworks displays. Its location and facilities make it a practical choice for visitors travelling from Andover and the surrounding areas.

The open layout helps with visibility, crowd flow, and overall comfort, making it a popular venue year after year.
