The event is FREE, however those wishing to attend the display must apply for a wristband. Wristbands will be available at the OakLeaf Sports Complex from Tuesday 20th October 2026, the wristbands will be available from 1pm until 7pm each day until all wristbands have been distributed.

Before coming to collect your wristbands, please make sure that you live within the Parish of Great Aycliffe. Please do not assume that because your postal address says Newton Aycliffe, you are automatically within the parish boundary. Some Newton Aycliffe addresses fall outside the parish and are therefore not eligible for resident wristbands.

To be eligible for a wristband you must:
