EVENT CANCELLED

We deeply regret to announce that Ignite The Night 2026, originally scheduled for August 22, 2026 at Gillingham Rugby Club, has been cancelled.

Important Details for Ticket Holders

It is with great disappointment that we have made the difficult decision to postpone Ignite the Night. Over the past few weeks, we have been hoping the weather would break and bring the much-needed rainfall that we all desperately need. Unfortunately, with the current unprecedented dry conditions continuing and the increased risk of fire, we do not feel it would be responsible to proceed. The safety of our visitors, staff, contractors and the wider community has always been, and always will be, our highest priority. While we have comprehensive risk assessments and a range of mitigation measures in place, we believe postponing the event is the right and responsible decision. This is a postponement, not a cancellation. We are already working to secure a new date and will share an update as soon as possible. All tickets for the original event will be refunded automatically. Once the new date has been confirmed, everyone will have the opportunity to purchase tickets again if they wish. We know how many of you were looking forward to an incredible evening of live music, family entertainment and our spectacular pyromusical fireworks display, and we're genuinely sorry for the disappointment this will cause. This was not an easy decision, but we believe it is the right one. Thank you for your understanding, patience and continued support. We look forward to bringing you a safer Ignite the Night as soon as conditions allow.
