Top Tips 

  • Arrive early! You’ll get parked much quicker and with the lovely bonfire to keep you warm, hot food on sale and plenty of pre-show entertainment you’ll have plenty to keep you busy – and warm! 

  • Wear warm comfortable clothing and we’d recommend sturdy comfortable shoes that are suitable for walking on grass 

  • Whilst we provide sufficient lighting between the car parking area and in and around the main event we recommend you bring a torch to maximise your personal safety especially if you are walking to the event 

  • If you wish to buy any event merchandise (e.g. glow swords, head bands) Hopetoun has a stall inside the event. We do not allow any unauthorised vendors into the event but some traders may attempt to sell items on the entry to the event which is not licensed. 

  • Very young children may benefit from earplugs if you are concerned about the volume of the fireworks and entertainment.

  • Please stay within the event area and do not enter cross over any roped areas or safety barriers -they are there for your protection.

  • Don’t dash off after the fireworks - stay and enjoy more fun at the funfair and warm up again by our fire! 

  • Keep an eye on our socials - we will have lots to tell you in the build up to this event!
