Oxford’s biggest charity fireworks night returns to South Park on Saturday 8 November 2025, with a larger programme, extra family facilities and new low-noise fireworks for younger children and noise-sensitive guests.
Things kick off with a new low-noise display at 6:30pm, with the main pyro-musical at 7:15pm, and a silent-disco afterparty to keep the evening going.
Now in its 57th year, the event raises money for charities, community groups and good causes across Oxfordshire. Organisers say it has generated well over £1m for local projects since it began.
“We’re incredibly proud to bring this iconic Oxford event back for its 57th year. And with the additions we’ve made for 2025, it should be our best yet,” said Joseph Garbett, Event Director.
“The volunteers have worked for months to make sure this year’s event is more than just fireworks – it’s a celebration of community spirit, and every ticket helps support great causes right here in Oxfordshire,” added Josh Worsfold, Chair of Oxford Round Table.
