The Big Bang 2025 – A Spectacular Night!
The Blandford School’s Big Bang Fireworks Night on Friday 7th November 2025 was a truly spectacular event, bringing together our local community for an evening of dazzling fireworks and a fantastic soundtrack. Despite the wet weather, the atmosphere was electric, and we were thrilled to welcome over 1,800 attendees!
We’ve had some amazing feedback from the public, with many saying it was “the best display around – even better than Weymouth or Poole Quay!”
A huge thank you to all the staff volunteers whose hard work and dedication made the evening possible, and to The Replicas for entertaining the crowd despite the rain. Special thanks also to DP Marquees for lending us a Chinese hat tent to keep the band dry.
📸 Local photographer Rob Young captured some stunning moments from the night – you can see more of his work at ryimages.co.uk.
All the money raised will go towards extra opportunities for our students, with the grand total coming soon. If you are a company and would like to help sponsor a future event or please contact abutler@blandfordschool.org.uk.
In the meantime, save the date for next year: Friday 6th November 2026 – we can’t wait to see you there for another unforgettable evening!
