Okehampton and district's Guy Fawkes night event

Every Bonfire Night the unique Dartmoor based community arts event of Sticklepath Fireshow thrills up to 3000 local and even national visitors. Young and old get together every Autumn to create a magnificent artistic Fireshow unlike any other. Every year a new theme and drama storyline is developed, ready for the making of small through to sometimes vast puppets, many worn by the cast. Music is planned, costumes are designed and made and an amazing outdoor stage is lovingly built only to be burnt on the night after a fabulous fireworks display following the play.

Thank you if you were one of the capacity crowd who enjoyed the spectacular 2011 Sticklepath Fireshow. The weather was excellent for Okehampton and district’s Guy Fawkes night event, A Frightful Fantasy. With over 30 local children dressed as skeletons, ghosts, witches and various other scary characters, the pre-firework play was enacted against a back drop of a very spooky building indeed, ‘Dunscarin’, which of course was later burnt as the bonfire element of the show.  See images from the 2011 show. If you would like a DVD's of either this year's show, as well as previous shows. Please contact Terry Holman. direct on 01837 840148.

Fireshow needs year round supplies of quality used structural timber. Please remember us and contact to discuss the available timber type. It is not possible to accept any unsolicited deliveries of wood at any time, as the Fireshow is held with grateful thanks to The National Trust who own the land.
