Tickets
In 2025, tickets were cheaper bought in advance online (£6.50 for adults and £3.50 for under-15s, through Ticketebo) than on the gate (£7.50 and £4), and children aged three and under went free, the Stratford Herald reported. Gates opened at 5pm, the bonfire was lit at 6pm and the fireworks started at 7pm. The 2026 times and prices may be different, so check the club’s events page before you go.
Getting there
Pearcecroft is about a 15-minute walk from Bridge Street, across Clopton Bridge. On bonfire night, walking is usually easier than driving and parking nearby.
If you’re driving in, our Stratford parking guide has a map of every car park with evening prices. Council car parks are card only. For buses home, see our Stratford bus times.
What to bring
- Warm layers, a hat and gloves: it’s an outdoor evening in November.
- Wellies or boots. Rugby pitches get muddy.
- A torch or phone light for the walk home.
- Cash and a card for food, drink and rides.
If you have a dog, it’s kinder to leave it at home: see our guide to fireworks and pets in Stratford for the dates of every big display nearby.
