We are hosting our annual Fireworks event at Mineralwell Park on Sunday November 2.

Entry is from 5:30pm. The bonfire will be lit at 6pm, with the Fireworks display starting at 7pm.

The evening’s entertainment includes a funfair. Music will be provided all evening by Mearns FM. There will be on site catering – burgers, fish & chips, german sausages , donuts and sweet treats.

Entry is Β£4 for adults, Β£1 for under 16s. Cash and contactless payment will be accepted.

Please note: NO Sparklers❗️

This is a 100% local volunteer run fundraising event. We raise much needed funds for local charities and non-profit community causes in Stonehaven and South Aberdeenshire.

⚠️Take care on the site as some areas of ground are uneven/slippy.
⚠️The park is usually pretty wet at this time of year: wellies recommended!
⚠️Please don’t enter from the railway viaduct paths as these will be unlit: go to the Baird Terrace entrance.
⚠️The entrance from the Glebe is closed.

Information for drivers:
🚌Traffic is usually very heavy for the event – buses and trains are running. Bus stops are right next to the park and train station is only 10mins walk away. A great way to avoid sitting in traffic! Folk from Stonehaven – please walk if you can!
πŸš—Traffic is heaviest at finish time. Don’t all rush out of the park at once, you will probably get stuck in a queue! Chill out, watch the bonfire or go to the funfair for a bit.
πŸš—When leaving town there is usually a queue up to the traffic light at the AWPR – sorry we didn’t put it there! Please consider alternative routes out of town – they all get you to the dual carriageway – see our helpful map.
πŸš—All council car parks are FREE and available at Market Square, Mackie Academy, Viewmount, Railway Station, Leisure Centre & Community Education Centre. There is general street parking available but PLEASE park considerately (and legally). Stonehaven is a small place – you can walk across it pretty quickly – why not park further away, have a leisurely wander down to Mineralwell and skip some of the traffic.
πŸš—Belmont Brae will be closed to vehicles 5pm-8pm to allow pedestrians to use it safely.
πŸš—Mineralwell View and Cowie village will be closed for visitor parking to maintain emergency vehicle access.
