Is Tamworth Castle Fireworks On in 2026?
We haven’t found a 2026 Tamworth Castle Grounds display. Tamworth Borough Council cancelled its planned 2025 display after negative community reaction to a new ticketed format made it unviable for the local business partners delivering it. The previous free event had cost the council more than £70,000 a year.
