Andover Golf Club and Glitter n Glow at Thruxton both fire on Saturday 7 November; Thruxton gates 4.30pm, £12 adults, £5 children. Romsey fires on the 6th.

Bonfire night 2026 falls on Thursday 5 November. A midweek fifth pushes the organised displays onto the weekend either side, and in this part of Test Valley that means Friday 6 and Saturday 7 November.

Andover Golf Club, Saturday 7 November

The town’s own display has its date. The club’s listing on Visit Hampshire, which gives the club’s Winchester Road address and phone number, says fireworks at Andover Golf Club are on Saturday 7 November 2026, with gates at 5pm and fireworks at 7pm. Entertainment comes from Andover Sounds and local acts, and food and drink, including mulled wine and hot chocolate, will be on sale.

No 2026 prices have been published. The club’s own website still carries no fireworks page, so the listing is the only published source for this year. In 2025 tickets were £8 a head or £25 a family in advance from behind the bar, rising to £10 and £30 on the gate, with under-5s free. Treat those as a guide, not this year’s prices. The club is at Winchester Road, Andover SP10 2EF, and the number on the listing is 01264 358040.

Glitter n Glow, Thruxton, Saturday 7 November

The biggest event on the Andover side of the borough is now on sale, and the details have changed since the first listing. The Thruxton box office gives:

  • Date: Saturday 7 November 2026
  • Gates: 4.30pm, finishing at 8.30pm
  • Adult: £12
  • Child, 5 to 15: £5
  • Under 5s: free, with its own free ticket on the box office
  • Where: Thruxton Aerodrome, sat nav SP11 8PN. Follow the signs for Thruxton Circuit only, not Thruxton village.

It is hosted by Andover Community Events and sponsored by Thruxton Circuit Ltd, with fireworks, live music, a funfair, food and “glowing entertainment”. All profits go to Andover Foodbank. Earlier listings named Koala, last year’s charity, and gave a 6pm start; the box office is the one to trust.

The rules are strict and worth reading before you go: no alcohol brought on site, no sparklers, personal fireworks or drones, no dogs except assistance animals, under-16s with an adult, bag searches at the gate and no re-entry.

Romsey Town FC, Friday 6 November

Romsey Town Football Club’s annual fireworks night is at the AEC Protection Ground, South Front, Romsey SO51 8GJ on Friday 6 November, 6pm to 8pm, with the display at 7.30pm. The club’s listing gives early bird prices of £9 an adult, £5 for under-16s and £22 for a family of two adults and two children. The club’s website links through to its TicketSource box office.

There is no parking on site, so plan to use the town car parks and walk.

Ampfield Golf and Country Club, Friday 6 November

The club’s own Fireworks Night page confirms Friday 6 November 2026, with the outdoor kitchen and bar open from 5pm and fireworks at 7.30pm.

  • Adult: £12
  • Child under 12: £6
  • Family of two adults and two children: £30
  • Tickets from the clubhouse, open to the public as well as members
  • Winchester Road, Ampfield SO51 9BQ

Parking is limited and the club asks people to car share.

Wellow, Saturday 7 November

Wellow Primary School’s own calendar now lists Wellow Fireworks on Saturday 7 November 2026. The school has not published times or prices; its fireworks page points to a Facebook group for those. In 2025 the display was on Saturday 8 November.

Rookwood and Testbourne: nothing yet

Rookwood School, Weyhill Road, has published no fireworks date. The most recent fireworks post on its site is from October 2024.

Testbourne Community School in Whitchurch has a fireworks FAQ on its events page (a few playground spaces at £6 a car, tickets online until 5pm on the day and on the gate) but no 2026 date. Its 2025 display was Saturday 25 October, gates 5pm, fireworks 7pm, £9 adults, £6 children, £25 family in advance. If it follows last year’s pattern the date would fall in late October, so an announcement is due.

The Candover trap

If you search for fireworks near Andover you will find Preston Candover Village Hall Bonfire Night on Saturday 7 November. It is a real event, but it is not near Andover. Preston Candover sits about 20 miles east, in Basingstoke and Deane. The letters “andover” sit inside “Candover”, which is why it keeps surfacing.

Getting there and parking

Thruxton is about six miles west of Andover, off the A303, and a full evening festival at a race circuit empties onto a trunk road. Our Andover roadworks and travel page tracks the closures running across the town and the A303 junctions this autumn.

Andover Golf Club is on Winchester Road, about a mile south of the town centre. The Andover parking page has tariffs and hours for every town centre car park. Our What’s On in Andover this month page lists everything else on that weekend.

What is still to come

  • Andover Golf Club: ticket prices.
  • Wellow: times and prices.
  • Rookwood and Testbourne: whether they run a 2026 display at all.

Everything on this page was checked against organisers’ own published material on 29 September 2026. Dates and prices change; check the organiser before you travel.
