Our flagship event, run jointly with Forest of Dean Lions Club — a spectacular bonfire and fireworks display. Gates open in the early evening; refreshments and a raffle on the night. All proceeds support local and national good causes.

Santa and his Lions sleigh tour the towns and villages of the Forest of Dean in the run-up to Christmas, collecting for good causes. Watch out for the route nearer the time!
