Adam Hewitt Ltd’s 16th Annual Charity Bonfire lights up support for Cure Leukaemia

Adam Hewitt Ltd hosted its much-loved Charity Bonfire on 5 November 2025 in Harvington, Kidderminster, marking the event’s 16th year of community, colour and giving. Building on last year’s spectacular “Greatest Showman” energy, the 2025 celebration once again drew families, friends and supporters for an evening of live entertainment, a roaring bonfire, and a choreographed fireworks display set to crowd-pleasing anthems.

Guests tucked into wood-fired pizzas, a traditional hog roast and seasonal treats before heading under the marquee for the ever-popular raffle and live auction, featuring unique experience days, signed sporting memorabilia and top-tier tech donated by local partners and supporters.

Fundraising highlight: £33,500 raised

Thanks to generous sponsors, advance ticket sales, on-the-night donations, the raffle and a lively auction, this year’s bonfire raised £33,500 for Cure Leukaemia, supporting life-saving research, treatment and compassionate end-of-life care in our region.

“Each November we’re reminded what this community can do when it comes together,” said Adam Hewitt, CEO of Adam Hewitt Ltd. “Raising £33,500 this year is a testament to our partners, our team and every person who bought a ticket, bid in the auction or picked up a raffle strip. You didn’t just enjoy a great night, you helped fund vital care and research that changes lives.”

From the first spark at 6:30 pm to the final firework, the 2025 Charity Bonfire delivered on spectacle and spirit, continuing a tradition that has become a fixture in the local calendar and a powerful engine for good. Plans are already taking shape for an even bigger 2026 edition.
