Fireworks are set to light up the skies over historic Wroxall Abbey with the return of the hotel's Bonfire Night party.

Tickets for the family event, on November 3, give visitors access to the bonfire, fireworks display, food and entertainment, including bouncy castle and a live DJ.

Guests will be able to choose from soup, jacket potato, hot dogs and burgers with drinks available to purchase from the bar.

It marks the latest in a new calendar of live events at Wroxall Abbey, which reopened last September under new family ownership and heralds in a new calendar of live events at the venue, including the opportunity to enjoy Festive Party Nights and Breakfast with Santa in December.

It also comes on the eve of a big year of investment for the hotel, plans including a new state-of-the-art spa and health club and renovation of the courtyard building to create an additional 24 bedrooms.

Wroxall Abbey currently offers 72 bedrooms, plus six conference rooms, a patio garden overlooking the 27-acre grounds, Henry's Lounge & Bar and Henry's Restaurant which serves seasonal British and Mediterranean cuisine as well as Sunday Lunch and Afternoon Tea.

Managing director Paresh Thakkar said: "We've received a warm welcome from the local community since reopening our doors last year and are looking forward to hopefully seeing plenty of new faces at this event.

"Previous Bonfire Night parties at the hotel have always proved popular so we were keen to bring them back. Wroxall Abbey is back with a bang!"

The gates open at 6.30pm, the bonfire is lit at 7.30pm and fireworks display starts at 8.15pm.

Tickets cost £17.50 for adults and £7.50 for children. Under fives are free. Or a family ticket, comprising two adults and two children, is £40.

They are available to purchase online or on 01926 242330.
