Farnham Fireworks & Torchlit Procession

Each year, Farnham Round Table organise the Farnham Fireworks & Torchlit Procession. Starting in Waggon Yard carpark, you can purchase flaming torches to carry up Castle Street to Farnham Park. Once in the park there is a huge bonfire to warm your hands on, a guy competition with entries from local schools and nurseries, a variety of food and drink outlets, entertainment, and of course the fireworks.
