Melton Mowbray Town Estate invites you to join us in Play Close Park for our annual autumn highlight. We have a full evening of entertainment scheduled, including an early-evening sensory display tailored for young children and sensory-sensitive visitors, followed by our grand bonfire lighting and a spectacular main display.
DJ sets by Chris Popple will keep things rolling from the gates opening and through the evening. The event will include a children’s funfair, food vendors, and an on-site bar. To comply with our licensing agreement, we cannot allow alcohol to be brought into the event.
