Swansea Council Fireworks Display

The Swansea Council Fireworks Display returns on Thursday 5th November 2026, with a new location and a myths and magic theme. This year the show moves to Singleton Park, where fairies, wizards and favourite film and storybook characters wander through the crowds alongside light-up unicorns and a mechanical dragon. Fire performers greet visitors at the gates, laser effects add extra sparkle to the display, and live singing and stage entertainment keep everyone busy until the main fireworks begin. It’s fun for all ages and great for little ones who love a bit of magic.

What’s On at the Swansea Council Fireworks Display

Gates open at 5pm, and the pre-show entertainment starts at 5.30pm, so it’s worth arriving early to soak up the atmosphere. The stage programme features Cubs and Co Entertainment, who host a welcome and several roaming magical shows through the evening. Heather Dolly Jones sings magical songs, Mellin Theatre Arts perform a show called Got the Magic, and PFS bring a fire performance at 6.45pm ahead of the main event.

The countdown begins just before the fireworks launch at 7.30pm, and a musical finale follows before the event closes at 8pm. A variety of food and drink vendors are on site with tasty treats and refreshments, and there are multiple catering units around Singleton Park, so you can warm up with a hot drink while you wait. Multiple portable toilets are also dotted around the park, which is handy when you have little ones in tow.

Weather and the Swansea Council Fireworks Display

A bit of rain won’t cancel the fun, so waterproofs and wellies are a good idea if the forecast looks wet. The fireworks will still go ahead in the rain, but if it gets too windy, or low cloud or fog affects visibility, the display may need to wait until it clears or be postponed. The organisers will have a good idea of the likely weather a few days in advance and will share any planned changes on social media.

Where to Find the Swansea Council Fireworks Display

The display takes place in Singleton Park, Swansea, and it’s a big event, so expect plenty of traffic in the area. The closest event parking is at Singleton Lacrosse Field and the Recreation Ground, both with the postcode SA2 0AU. Parking is £5 per vehicle, payable on arrival only, and both car parks open at 4pm. The Recreation Ground car park has a gravel surface and the Lacrosse Field is grass, so wear sensible shoes. There is no overnight parking in any event car park. For city centre car parks, check the Swansea Council car parks page.

Limited accessible parking is available at each event car park on a first come, first served basis, and at Victoria Park via the entrance on Francis Street. Public transport is another good option, and you can plan your trip with Traveline Cymru and First Cymru. There may be delays due to heavy traffic, so allow extra time whichever way you travel.

Road Closures

To keep the event safe, Pantycelyn Road and Nicander Parade will be closed for their full length on the evening. Brynmill Terrace (between the Co-op and Mumbles Road) will also close for approximately 30 to 45 minutes between 7.45pm and 8.45pm to allow visitors to leave. This affects departures from the Lacrosse Field car park, as vehicles can’t leave until the road reopens, so a flask of hot chocolate in the car is a good idea. An alternative route will be signposted and access for residents will be kept open for as long as it is safe to do so.
