Singleton Firelight


Embrace the chill and ignite your senses with ice skating, an outdoor cinema, food, Hunter Valley wine and beer, markets and so much more at Singleton Firelight.

While warming up the crowd is at the heart of Singleton Firelight, it’ll be a little more chill in 2025 with ice skating to top a huge list of activities that also includes an outdoor cinema, food, markets and Hunter Valley wine and beer.

Firelight will be returning to its origins in the Singleton Civic Centre precinct on Saturday 3 May 2025 from 6 – 9.30pm.

There’ll be an indoor option to ensure the event can go ahead regardless of weather and plenty of space for people of all ages to spread out and enjoy the huge range of activities and attractions on offer.

Expect all the Firelight favourites including a range of food trucks to grab a bite to eat, market stalls, live music, kids’ activities covering everything from craft to putt putt golf, jumping castle, face painting and circus workshop, plus roving performers and, for the adults, a bar area serving up Hunter Valley wine and beer.

There will be some cool new additions to this year’s Firelight program – with the emphasis being on cool – including an accessible indoor ice skating rink and a cosy outdoor cinema. Bring a rug or chair, grab a hot choccie, snuggle down with some free popcorn and watch the beloved family friendly flick Ice Age on the big screen.
