Sheffield hotel’s first community fireworks night attracts thousands and another event is planned
There are plans for another event
A Sheffield hotel’s first community fireworks has been hailed a huge success after attracting a crowd of 2,500.
Mercure Sheffield Kenwood Hall Hotel & Spa said the event on November 5, 2026, was the largest event ever held there.
The hotel regularly hosts weddings, parties and celebrations for up to 200 guests, alongside summer community events on its grounds, but this was by far the largest staged at the venue.
The inaugural event combined a spectacular fireworks display with local craft stalls, food and treats from local vendors.
It brought families, residents, businesses and community supporters together for a memorable Bonfire Night celebration in support of local homelessness charity Roundabout.
Following this success, Kenwood Hall Hotel & Spa has announced plans for the event to return on November 5, 2027. Details of how the team will make it even more special will be shared next year.
Alongside all the fun, the evening also raised funds and awareness for Roundabout, Kenwood Hall Hotel & Spa’s charity of the year.
The charity works to end youth homelessness in South Yorkshire by helping young people break the cycle of homelessness and build the skills for long-term independent living.
Marsela Loulai, general manager at Kenwood Hall, said: “We were absolutely delighted with our first community fireworks night and hope it will become a regular highlight of our annual calendar.
“Kenwood Hall Hotel & Spa takes great pride in being a community hotel. Seeing so many local families, businesses, and supporters come together and enjoy the evening was exactly what I had hoped for.
“We were thrilled by the turnout and are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended, my amazing team, and all those who helped make the event such a memorable success. We already have ideas on how to make next year’s event even better – watch this space!”
