Leeds Castle in Kent has been named the third-best fireworks display in the UK in a Telegraph ranking of the country's top twelve displays. The spectacle features the imposing stone castle as a backdrop, with fireworks choreographed to music alongside pre-show entertainment including live music and a fairground. The Telegraph praised the setting, noting that visitors can arrive early to enjoy the castle's maze, play areas and adventure golf.

The event takes place on 7 and 8 November. Saturday's tickets have now sold out, though Sunday still has some availability. The grounds open at 2pm on Sunday, with attractions including a maze, play areas, adventure golf and gardens. A falconry display is scheduled for 3pm, followed by live music, street food and fairground rides. The main fireworks display begins at 5.30pm.

Ticketing is available at children's prices of £20 and adults at £29, with children under three entering free. For 2026, the display will adopt a 'TIME' theme with fireworks choreographed to iconic songs about time, enhanced by lasers and projections illuminating the castle during the performance.
