Tortworth Court Explosive Christmas Spectacular

Monday 21 - Tuesday 22 December 2026

Christmas festivities return to De Vere Tortworth Court for two evenings of festive family fun, featuring a musical firework display, Santa's Grotto, real reindeer, funfair rides, Christmas vehicles, food and drink.

Taking place on Monday 21 and Tuesday 22 December 2026, the Tortworth Court Christmas Fireworks offer families the chance to enjoy plenty of seasonal entertainment in the beautiful surroundings of the historic Gloucestershire hotel.

Meet Santa in his Grotto

Santa will be waiting to meet young visitors in his Christmas grotto, with children able to have their photo taken with him and receive a small gift.

Meet Santa's Real Reindeer

Two real reindeer will be at Tortworth Court from the time the gates open at 5pm until 7pm.

Visitors hoping to meet the reindeer should arrive in plenty of time, as they will leave the event before the fireworks begin.

Funfair, Sweets & Treats

Angus Pedrick Funfairs will bring traditional fairground entertainment to the event, alongside sweets, treats and stalls to add to the festive atmosphere.

Christmas Dubs

The Christmas Dubs return with their festive vehicles, helping to raise money for The Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children's Hospital Charity.

Musical Christmas Fireworks

The highlight of each evening will be a spectacular 10-minute musical firework display, choreographed to a festive soundtrack packed with Christmas favourites.

The fireworks begin at 7.30pm on both evenings.

Food & Drink

A wide selection of food and refreshments will be available throughout the evening, including wines, spirits and soft drinks.

Parking & Tickets

Tickets must be booked in advance and will not be available to purchase at the gate.

There are only 200 car parking spaces available each evening, so visitors are encouraged to car-share wherever possible.

When booking, make sure you select the correct date – either Monday 21 December or Tuesday 22 December 2026.

Visitors can also stay on after the event and enjoy a drink in one of the lounges at De Vere Tortworth Court, or make a night of it with an overnight stay at the hotel.
