Sticklepath Fireshow 2011 Firework Display

Sticklepath Fireshow, Okehampton and district's Guy Fawkes night event, present their 2011 show, "A Frightful Fantasy". ... Could Guy be getting caught up in the myths and legends of Dartmoor? .....

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 from the community in and around the village of Sticklepath near Okehampton, Devon 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.

High up on the list of outings in Devon this Autumn, The Fireshow was included last year in The Times top 15 "Britain's Best Bonfire Night" events.

Saturday 5th November -- 7.30pm. Finch Foundry Field, Sticklepath, near Okehampton, EX20 2NW.

This is what The Times listing of the top 15 UK wide Bonfire night events said about us: "Britain's best bonfire night events.... Sticklepath Fireshow, Devon. The result of weeks of labour, in which locals stitch together costumes, make puppets and construct an outdoor wooden stage, the show involves a large-scale puppet show— this year's play is an update of the Guy Fawkes story — followed by a huge firework display. The stage doubles as the village's bonfire and is set alight once the last performer has exited. " The Times 30th October 2010.
