Superhero‑themed spectacle

The event, titled A Super Spectacle, takes place on Wednesday, November 5. Gates open at 5pm, with pre‑show entertainment from 5.30pm before the main fireworks display at 7.30pm.

This year’s theme will celebrate superheroes, with stage performances including the K‑pop Demon Hunter dance session and Marvel Moves: Deadpool vs Wolverine. Visitors will also have the chance to meet characters such as Bat Woman, Superman, Groot, Wonder Woman and The Incredibles.

Affordable family tickets

Advance tickets are now on sale at Visit Swansea Bay, starting at £4 per person or £14 for a family of five. Swansea Council says the pricing makes the event a safer and cheaper alternative to home displays.

Extra food trucks will be on site this year, offering a wider choice of food and drink.

Council leader: “Safe, family‑friendly event”

Cllr Rob Stewart, Swansea Council Leader, said:

“Our annual fireworks display is a key event in the Swansea events programme offering a safe way for families, students and residents to celebrate fireworks night at a low cost.

This event, along with the Christmas Parade and Croeso, is part of the council’s ongoing commitment to providing our communities with quality, family‑friendly, free or low‑cost events.”

Travel and safety advice

Organisers are urging attendees to arrive early, as the display is always extremely popular and large crowds are expected. Parking and road closure details will be published ahead of the event.

An entertainment stage, live music and food stalls will help set the mood in the build‑up to the fireworks.
