Ripley Bonfire

Ripley Green, Ripley · 31 October 2026

31 Oct

Running since 1955, the Ripley Bonfire Association's night on the village green draws up to 12,000 people. The bonfire is built in a dip that was once the village pond, which gives the crowd a natural amphitheatre for the fire and the display.

Highlights

  • Torchlit procession from the village hall with a youth marching band
  • Bonfire lit by the event's Regal Guest of Honour
  • Firework display by Dynamic Fireworks
  • Funfair, food stalls and a bar with live music

Good to know

  • Proceeds go to the Ripley Over 60s Club and other local groups
  • Three car parks; Car Park 1 holds about 1,000 cars and closes at 10.30pm
  • Roads get busy, so allow plenty of time
