Can I help...
Yes please! We need as many volunteers as possible to run this event, we need support building the fire in the weekends leading up to the event, setting up the site on Friday 6th & Saturday 7th during the day and the big clean up on Sunday 8th November.
We also need help on the Saturday evening, particularly marshals to help control the event and ensuring the safety of the spectators. A lot of effort goes into making this event and with your support we can continue to put on events like this for the benefit of our community.
Everyone who volunteers to help set up and run the event will be given free entry on the night. Please get in touch if you would like to join the team and make the event a success - email us at tickets@wadhurstwarriors.co.uk

What time does the event start?
Gates open at 17:30 and the bonfire is lit at approximately 18:30. We aim to get everybody in quickly, but safety is our number one priority - so leave yourself time to get in, grab some food and get a good view of the fire.
What time are the fireworks fired?
Approximately 19:30. We will close the gates 10 minutes prior to the fireworks being fired. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment and make sure you have an opportunity to visit our fantastic Bar, BBQ and other vendors!
Is food and drink available?
Oh yes! We’ll be running the fantastic Warriors BBQ and this year there will also be other food vendors offering an array of different snacks and treats to see you through the night.
Alongside our traditional Bar serving a wide range of alcoholic including our mulled wine and soft drinks, we’re planning to offer alternatives too!
Can we bring our own food or drinks?
Outside food and non-alcoholic drinks are permitted, but bringing alcohol into the event is strictly prohibited. We highly encourage everyone to support our on-site catering stalls, as these proceeds are what make the event possible!
What is your search policy?
To ensure a safe environment for everyone, all attendees and their belongings may be asked to submit to a search upon entry or at any point during the event. This includes a check of your bags, pockets, and clothing by our authorised security staff. Please note that outside fireworks, sparklers, laser pens, drones, and glass containers are strictly prohibited on site.
What happens if I refuse a search?
Undergoing a search is a condition of entry. If you choose not to comply with a security search request, you will be denied entry to the event or immediately escorted from the premises.
Are there any other stalls?
As always, the Glow Stall will be selling goodies to brighten up the night!
Where do I go if I need medical help ?
Please approach any marshal in a hi-vis vest. A dedicated First Aid post is located at the entrance. Our first aid team led by a registered Paramedic.
What if my child gets lost?
Please approach any marshal in a hi-vis vest. Lost Children can be collected from Event Control.
Do you allow sparklers?
No. Sparklers are not allowed at the event - we are not covered by our insurance and are unable to facilitate their safe use. More importantly, the field we use is a grazing field for animals. Sparklers discarded on the ground can be very harmful to the livestock. We know this may be disappointing for some, but we do offer alternatives such as the Warriors famous glow stall instead!
Can I pay with card or cash?
Both card and cash payments will be accepted throughout the event.
Do I need to bring anything?
Warm jumpers and jackets are a must, wellies are a good idea and a torch can be useful to help you find your way home after the event!
Do you have any on-site parking?
There is no parking available on site. We advise all guests to walk to the event if possible. The area leading to the entrance must be kept traffic free to allow safe entry / exit to the site.
Are the fireworks loud?
Both outdoor events and fireworks can be loud, particularly for those with sensitive ears. Those with young children are advised to wear appropriate hearing protection. A limited number of foam ear plugs will be available for free at the gate
Are dogs or other pets allowed at the event?
No. It’s too loud and potentially frightening for dogs or other pets. Registered assistance dogs will be permitted to enter the event, but we strongly recommend leaving site before the fireworks display.
Are there toilets on-site?
Yes, there will be portaloo toilets and men’s urinals available.
Is the site accessible for wheelchairs?
Yes, limited help can be provided at the gate for assisted entry to and from the site. Please remember that the event is held on farmland, which may not be suitable for all types of wheelchairs.
Waste & recycling
We will be supplying bins on site and these will be clearly marked out with brightly coloured signage. We will have separate bins for garbage and recycling this year.
Our chosen waste contractor sorts the rubbish and recycles wherever possible.
Why are ticket sales primarily online?
Online ticket sales mean less paper, safer and faster queues on the night. Please ensure you have your QR code for your ticket downloaded on your mobile device prior to attending the event (or printed it out if you prefer) to keep the entrance process quick and easy for all.
If you need some help buying your tickets online pop into Burnetts on the High Street, where Andrew and the team will be pleased to help you complete your purchase.
Are paper tickets still available?
A limited number of paper tickets will be available from Carillon Cottage on the High Street from mid-September.
What happens if the event is cancelled?
While we always aim to put on the event as planned, our priority is always the health and safety of our community. For example, in previous years we have been forced to cancel the event due to bad weather.
Please refer to our Terms and Conditions page for more details on event cancellation
