Scotland’s Red Hot Fireworks Event Returns for 2025

Sunday 2nd November 2025
Royal Highland Centre, Edinburgh

Get ready to be blown away when Scotland’s red hot fireworks event, Fawkes Festival comes to the Royal Highland Centre this Autumn.

A unique way to experience the fun of Guy Fawkes, this immersive event is an explosion of colour, light and sound, combining a choreographed fireworks display and entertainment including the world-famous Scottish bagpipe band, The Red Hot Chilli Pipers and the sensational street theatre and LED drummers troupe, Spark! who magically transform the landscape with mysterious characters.

Fawkes Festival promises a feelgood programme of entertainment that will set the feet tapping and the heavens ablaze – from fairground rides to wonderful food and drink, a roaring bonfire and, of course, the magnificent fireworks display, befitting the foiling of the gunpowder plot and set to music along with lights, sky trackers and lasers.

Fawkes Festival is a feast for the senses and there is something for everyone!
