This year's Confetti Battle marks 70 years since Jim Jennings evolved it into its current fully-fledged battle. As this long-standing Devizes tradition continues, we're hoping to maintain the more recent custom of ending the battle with a fireworks display this year.
After two difficult years with funding cuts, we want to ensure we put on this much-loved event in all its glory. We’re hoping to raise £1000, which will cover the cost of the fireworks display put on by professional contractors.
We know that the fireworks aren’t popular with everyone, and we’ve explored silent fireworks. These aren’t possible in the summer months as the fallout when the fireworks are launched is greater with silent fireworks and presents an increased fire risk in the hot summer months.

Here at Devizes Outdoor Celebratory Arts (DOCA) we are on mission to bring high-quality community-focused arts to Devizes, Wiltshire, and the surrounding area. We aim to create inspirational events that are free for everyone to be a part of. The Confetti Battle is a cherished highlight of our programme. This beloved Devizes tradition has become a cornerstone of our community calendar, bringing together families and friends for an evening of colourful chaos and joy. We invite you to help us ensure we can deliver the spectacular fireworks finale, an eagerly anticipated part of this wonderful event. Please donate to this fundraiser if you can. Any amount you can give will be greatly appreciated and will help us light up the sky at the end of this year's battle.
