Southport Rugby Club Fireworks Extravaganza 2026

ON Friday, 6 November 2026. Southport Rugby Football Club on:- Waterloo Road, Birkdale, hosted it's annual Fireworks Extravaganza.

This is 1 of the biggest social nights in the Southport RFC calendar and it attracted record crowds from all over Merseyside, not just within the Southport area. Families with young children filled the area outside and inside the Clubhouse. Most enjoyed the activities within the Festival Village, before and after the Fireworks. Music was played throughout the night by Mighty Radio, with Trevor Ford DJ broadcasting across the Region at the same time.

Of course the highlight of the nights entertainment was the fireworks, which where set off by hand, on the Rugby Pitch. As they shout up into the damp sky they illuminated the crowds bush inside the grounds and surrounding area.

This event could really bring in far more cash for the club, if the grounds could hold more people, as you could see with the mass of people who had come to see it outside the grounds on Waterloo Road. So if you see it being run again next year, don't delay getting your tickets as it sells out fast! So check out the Club's website to keep an eye out for when tickets go on sale. Plus you can keep up-to-date with the Clubs other activities, including match dates and opportunities to get involved!
