Northampton's free Fireworks Spectacular will return to the Racecourse on Sunday, 1st November, bringing an evening of Halloween-themed entertainment, live music, a thrilling pyro-fire act and an impressive fireworks display. Organised by Northampton Town Council, the popular annual event begins at 4pm, with onstage entertainment hosted by BBC Radio Northampton presenter Justin Dealey.

The Soul Harmony Divas, fronted by female vocalists Hannah Faulkner and Jenny K, will warm up the crowds with a powerful set of Soul, Motown, Disco and Dance songs, accompanied by a live band. There will be a spooky twist to this year's event, with The Live Performers bringing a Halloween-themed fire and pyro show to the stage before the spectacular pyro-musical fireworks display lights up the Northampton sky at 6pm.

This year, visitors will also be able to step back in time with 'Northampton's Five – A Journey into the Witch Trials of 1612 and 1705', brought to life live on stage and screen by local theatre company The Mystery Tours. The performance will explore the stories of Northamptonshire's witch trials, adding a fascinating piece of local history to this year's entertainment programme.

There will also be fun fair rides, a range of food and drink vendors, face painting, a Help for Heroes stall and the return of the free lost child wristband scheme, giving parents and carers the opportunity to add their contact details to a wristband for their children.
