Pembury Fireworks 2026: Tickets, Last Entry, and Accessible Parking

If you are planning a Bonfire Night outing near Pembury, check the date and entry cutoff before you set out. Pembury Parish Council’s 2026 event is a fireworks display at Lower Green Recreation Ground on Friday, November 6. It is not a traditional bonfire gathering: the council’s FAQ says there will be no bonfire. Tickets must be booked online in advance, and the last entry time is 7:15 p.m.

The gates open at 6:30 p.m., with the fireworks scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, November 6, 2026. The event is in Pembury, England, where clocks will already have returned to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT, UTC+00:00) by then, so the listed 7:30 p.m. is also 19:30 UTC. The UK clock change falls on October 25 in 2026, according to GOV.UK’s clock-change calendar.

Book tickets before you travel

The council says tickets must be bought online and will not be sold at the gate. Use the ticket link on the official event announcement, which directs visitors to TicketSource. Complete the checkout before event day and keep the confirmation available so you can retrieve your booking when you arrive.

The council’s announcement, published October 5, lists adult tickets at £7 and says children aged 15 and under can attend free. Check the live booking page for current availability and whether free child tickets need to be added to the order. Do not assume a child can be admitted without following any instructions shown during checkout. The council’s FAQ confirms the advance-booking requirement but does not describe a walk-up exception.

1. Open the council’s event announcement and follow its TicketSource link.
2. Select the tickets you need and read the checkout details, including the instructions for children aged 15 and under.
3. Finish the online booking and keep the confirmation or ticket accessible on your phone or in another format accepted by the ticketing service.
4. Before leaving, check your booking date and the council’s event page for any late updates.

Arrive before the 7:15 p.m. last entry

Plan to reach the entrance with enough time to get from your parking or drop-off point to the field. Gates open at 6:30 p.m., but the council sets last entry at 7:15 p.m.—15 minutes before the scheduled fireworks start. Treat 7:15 p.m. as a firm cutoff, not as a suggested arrival time. The council lists entrances from Lower Green Road and Woodhill Park. Visitors arriving via Westway will be directed along a footpath to the Lower Green Road entrance.

The venue is Lower Green Recreation Ground, Lower Green Road, Pembury, Kent, TN2 4DZ. The FAQ does not give a separate finish time for the display, so check the official page rather than planning around an assumed end time.

Parking and accessible spaces

Do not plan to use Lower Green Carpark: the council says it will be closed for the event. Some general parking is available at Tesco in Pembury, but the FAQ does not publish a space count, fee, or parking time limit. The council asks visitors to walk to the event where possible to help reduce congestion through the village.

Blue Badge parking must be booked ahead

A limited number of accessible parking spaces are available in the Scout Hut carpark for Blue Badge holders. These spaces must be booked in advance by contacting the council through the email link in its official fireworks FAQ. Request the space before event day and wait for the council’s response before relying on it; the published FAQ does not state how many spaces are available or give a booking deadline. It also does not explain accessible viewing areas or step-free routes, so ask the council about those needs when you contact it.

Family and event-day checks

Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The council also says visitors may not bring personal fireworks or sparklers to this council-run public event. Food and drink vendors are expected on site, but the published FAQ does not promise specific menus or service times.

Weather can affect whether the display goes ahead. The council says it will cancel only if weather conditions affect event safety, post updates on its website and social channels, and notify ticket customers by email through TicketSource by 5 p.m. on the evening if the event is canceled. Check the council’s updates and the inbox used for your booking before traveling.

Use this quick check before you leave:

• Your online ticket is booked; there are no gate sales.
• You have the date, Friday, November 6, 2026, and the Lower Green Recreation Ground address.
• You can arrive before 7:15 p.m. GMT (UTC+00:00); gates open at 6:30 p.m. and fireworks begin at 7:30 p.m.
• If you need accessible parking, you have requested a Blue Badge space in advance and received a response.
• You have checked the council’s latest event updates and email for cancellation notices.

For anyone searching specifically for a bonfire, note that Pembury’s advertised event is a fireworks night without a bonfire. Booking online, arranging any accessible parking early, and arriving before the last-entry cutoff are the key steps to avoid a missed display.
