Rugby Round Table presents Rugby's biggest Fireworks event

On Saturday 1sth November 2025 Rugby Round Table will host Rugby’s 72nd annual Firework Spectacular at Whinfield Park, Rugby.

Born out of an idea to help the local orphan children, Rugby Round Table held their first communal fireworks display on 5th November 1951.
