As previous years, the night will also feature a funfair and food and drink stalls.

F.A.Q.s
What time does it start?
The gates will open at 4pm, the bonfire will be lit at 6pm, and the fireworks display will begin at 6.30pm.
How much is it, and can I pay at the gate?
Tickets purchased before the day are £5 and can be bought online, over the phone, or directly at Junction‘s box office. You can pay on the day at Junction or on the gate for £6 (gate sales are card only).
How is it ticketed?
You will need a physical ticket to enter. These must be collected in advance by 4 Nov from Junction’s box office, or select the option to have them posted to your address (postage costs £1.50).
Where is the gate/entrance?
Entry is via the main gates on Airmyn Road only. Access via Shaftesbury Avenue car park is for blue badge holders with pre-booked disabled parking only.
Is there parking?
Parking at West Park is available for blue badge holders only. As disabled parking is limited – you must register beforehand – see the link on our website to do this. You must also bring your blue badge on the evening to access the disabled car park.
General parking is available via Goole Academy Tennis Courts entrance opposite Park Avenue – a limited number of tickets have been released at £3 per car – you must register beforehand for parking – see the link on our website to do this.
All other parking around West Park has been suspended. Cars parked in restricted areas, no parking areas, or on grass verges may be clamped and/or towed. Traffic Management will be in place to enforce road closures.
We strongly advise walking to the park if you have not booked a car parking space. West Park is only a short walk (around 10 minutes) from the multiple available car parks in Goole Town Centre.
How accessible is the park?
All event areas of the park are accessible via wheelchair. There is an accessible toilet on site. Tickets for essential companions are free.
Do I have to buy tickets for babies and toddlers?
Children under 3 are free – however, you still need to book them a ticket. Select the “Under 3” option when booking.
What am I allowed to bring?
Please do not bring any alcohol, glass, sparklers, flares or any other prohibited items. You will be asked to discard these items/refused entry if you do so. Bag checks will be in operation, to help with queue times we ask that you do not bring bags.
Are dogs allowed?
Due to the loud nature of the event, dogs are not allowed.
On what part of the field do the fireworks/bonfire take place?
The bonfire and fireworks display is always on the playing fields at the top end of the park. However, the positioning of the display can only be decided on the day of the event as wind conditions are taken into account to ensure the event runs safely. Our stewards can advise on the night.
