✨️ The Flitwick Lower School Laser Show & Christmas Fair is back on Friday 20th November 2026 and this year it's going to be bigger and better than ever!

⭐️ ABOUT...
We're delighted to be working with an exciting new provider, Fusion Event Services, who create truly spectacular laser show displays. For the first time ever, there will be two laser shows during the evening:

🎵 6:15pm – A laser show set to music, particularly suited to younger children and those who prefer a quieter experience. There will be no fireworks during this show.

🎆 7:30pm – A second laser show, with some additional pyrotechnic effects.

The best bit? One ticket gives you guaranteed entry to both shows. Come for the first show, come for the second show, or make an evening of it and enjoy both!

Alongside the shows, we'll have:
🍔 New food vendors and even more food options.
🛍️ A bigger selection of stalls.
