Ashley Manor Community Fireworks and Funfair
Next dates
Following the huge success of the Chase Lane Fireworks display in November 2023, and with the kind permission of the Ashley Manor School Headmaster, Chase Lane are pleased to announce that this year's event will be organised, coordinated and delivered, top-to-bottom, by Chase Lane Fireworks, thus taking a huge administrative burden away from the school and bringing all the difficult stuff under one roof!
The main display will be bigger than last year. We sadly can't go much louder as we must show due consideration to the neighbours; however, it will be visually more spectacular and offer the same and more stunning products to light up the night. There will be an outstanding fireworks displays on offer, along with all the usual entertainments and catering outlets.
Funfair thrills will be provided including rides for young and old, games and all the usual attractions associated with a Chase Lane event. Fabulous catering, including a bar (see the note below re public transport) will be available throughout the event.
Music will be provided by Matt from Major Entertainments who will play all your favourite seasonal sounds to keep the atmosphere buzzing. This is a family-friendly event.
We must stress that the fireworks event will be loud and therefore not suitable for the very young or for those who may suffer from illnesses or syndromes that could be affected by loud and sudden noises (learning difficulties/autism/PTSD etc). Ear protection is recommended for those with sensitive ears/hearing issues.
***PLEASE TAKE NOTE OF THE FOLLOWING NOTICE REGARDING TRAVEL AND PARKING***
There is NO vehicular access to Ashley Manor School through the London Road gates. Access for vehicles displaying a valid disabled blue badge is via Ashley Road (off Greenway Lane). All pedestrian access is via the London Road gates (opposite the London Inn).
It is recommended that visitors who live too far away to walk to the venue use the various bus options available from Cheltenham Town Centre. Bus services include 51, 801, B, H or S2 (please check timings prior to travel - not all of these services run into the evening).
London Road is a very busy main road (the A40) and we must all do our bit to try and keep congestion to a minimum.
Finally, please look after yourselves and your children. This will be a fantastic evening, but it will be a very busy event! Keep your children supervised and attended at all times. Be safe, have fun, eat, drink, be merry and, above all, smile lots
