Arcnight

Arcnight is Sheffield’s brand-new, festival-scale Bonfire Night spectacle taking over Don Valley Bowl on Thursday, 5th November 2026. Brought to you by the creators behind Illuminate the Gardens, this ambitious event transforms the steel city’s iconic outdoor arena into a high-energy celebration of light, music, and community spirit. Designed as the city’s only large-scale fireworks event, Arcnight fuses Sheffield's industrial heritage with modern live entertainment, creating an immersive experience where sparks meet the skyline.

The evening features two dual fireworks displays designed by Optimum Fireworks, kicking off with a child-friendly "low-bangs" show before building up to a massive, full-throttle pyromusical finale synced with lasers and specialised lighting effects. Beyond the sky, the main stage features a stellar soundtrack of local talent, including house music legend Steve Edwards and resident DJs from local charity Under the Stars.

Packed with gourmet street food vendors, fully stocked bars, funfair rides, walkabout street performers, and special surprises, Arcnight offers a complete festival experience for families, music lovers, and partygoers alike. Don't miss out on securing your tickets to be part of history as Sheffield’s newest autumn tradition officially ignites.
