Ignite - Fire Festival - Due to severe weather conditions, only Sunday will be going ahead

4pm - 8pm

Rochdale Town Hall Square
The Esplanade
Rochdale
OL16 1AZ

Details:

Due to weather conditions we have had to cancel Friday and Saturday. 

Sunday will be going ahead as planned.

A free immersive experience for all ages, Ignite will feature bubbling goblets of fire and a daisy chain of flaming flowers, alongside sculptures that twist, flap or erupt with balls of fire.

Walking through the gardens visitors will also get to see a fire bird with blazing eyes, 2 smaller birds gently circling a flaming nest and other delights.

Look out for ‘In the Balance’ - a seemingly impossible counter-balance of steel and fire, with rotating globes of flame, one of the highlights of this year’s event.

Each evening, a fire drawing designed and made by local residents will be ignited alongside flaming hot performances from some of the north’s top talent including Flame Oz, Bring the Fire and Rochdale’s Skylight Circus Arts.

Street theatre and interactive arts group Travelling Light Circus who got a fantastic reception from the crowds last year will be returning too.

Also back for 2024 is ‘Drum Machine’ – a 20 strong drumming collective, who’ll be bringing their techno infused beats to the event.

There will also be hot food, mulled wine and other seasonal drinks.

Entry fee: Free
