Ashlands Bonfire to celebrate 40th anniversary with biggest-ever fireworks display

Tickets have gone on sale for Ashlands Bonfire as the popular Ilkley event prepares to celebrate its 40th anniversary.

The annual community bonfire will return on Saturday 7th November.

Ashlands Bonfire has become a popular fixture in the local calendar, combining a traditional bonfire and fireworks with food, drinks and entertainment.

Gates will open at 5.30pm, with the bonfire lit at 6.15pm before the anniversary fireworks display begins at 7.30pm.

Event coordinator Ste Hallam said:

“Ashlands Bonfire has been bringing people together for 40 years, and we want this year's event to be something really special.

“We're incredibly excited to celebrate the 40th anniversary with our biggest-ever fireworks display, while keeping everything that people love about Ashlands Bonfire; the family atmosphere, food, drinks and, of course, the bonfire itself.

“Tickets have sold out in previous years, so we'd strongly recommend getting yours early. We'd hate for anyone to miss out on what promises to be our biggest and best bonfire yet.”

The event is run by volunteers, including parents, staff, former pupils of Ashland Primary School and members of the local community

Money raised through ticket sales, food, drinks and other activities will go back into projects and activities at the school.

Organisers are encouraging families to book early after previous Ashlands Bonfire events sold out.
