Made A Mark is a small, local charity based in Alveston supporting children who have been bereaved following the death of a parent or sibling.

The charity provides memory boxes and supporting materials to organisations across England, helping professionals to better support bereaved children. Locally, Made A Mark supplies boxes to Southmead Hospital, Bristol Royal Infirmary, Bristol Children's Hospital, St Peter's Hospice, Sirona and others.

The charity is entirely volunteer-run and operates from a donated space. It relies on donations and fundraising to continue its work. In 2025, Made A Mark fulfilled requests for more than 1,200 memory boxes, with each box and its supporting contents costing around Β£30 to provide.

This year, Thornbury Round Table is raising additional donations for Made A Mark alongside our Fireworks event. 100% of the money raised through these additional donations will be donated to the charity after the event.

Yes. The Children’s Fireworks Display is designed to be more suitable for younger attendees, taking place earlier in the evening.
There is no general event parking available.

Public car parks in Thornbury can be used but are likely to be busy and charges may apply. We strongly encourage walking, car sharing, or public transport where possible.

A very limited amount of on-site parking is reserved for Blue Badge holders on a pre-booked basis only.
We aim to make the event as accessible as possible. The site is on grass and may be uneven in places, particularly in wet weather.

If you have specific access requirements (including parking or essential companion tickets), please contact us in advance so we can support you where possible.
No - dogs are not permitted at the event, with the exception that registered assistance dogs are permitted.

This is due to the noise, crowds, and overall environment, which can be distressing and unsafe for animals.
Following the main fireworks display, PartyPeeps will be hosting a foam party as the event winds down.

It’s a fun, high-energy way to round off the evening while the crowd gradually disperses.
Not at all - the foam party is completely optional. If you’d prefer to head home after the fireworks, you’re free to do so.
Yes - the foam used is non-toxic and designed for use at events. It is suitable for general play, but as with any activity, those with sensitive skin or allergies may wish to take precautions.
Yes - if you choose to take part, you should expect to get damp. We recommend bringing appropriate clothing if you plan to join in.
The foam party is generally most popular with children, but all ages are welcome to take part.
The foam party will take place in front of the main stage area following the fireworks display.

It is positioned away from the main exit routes, allowing those who wish to leave after the fireworks to do so safely.
We recommend keeping phones, wallets, and other valuables protected or away from the foam area, as they may get wet.
We kindly ask that you do not bring your own food and drink. A wide range of food and drink will be available to purchase on site, and supporting our vendors helps us deliver the event and maximise funds raised for local good causes. Please note that alcohol bought from outside is not permitted to be brought onto the site. Due to limited bin capacity, we also ask that any small items of litter are taken home where possible.
