Fleet's diary to 14 November: Fleet and Yateley fireworks on 7 November, West Green House's pumpkin patch from 24 October and a Hartley Wintney book festival.

Fleet’s autumn diary has three big dates. Hartley Wintney runs its first literary festival from Monday 5 October. West Green House opens a Halloween pumpkin patch on Saturday 24 October. The Fleet Lions Firework Fiesta is at Calthorpe Park on Saturday 7 November, and tickets are online only this year. Yateley’s display is the same night. The Harlington fills the Friday and Saturday nights in between with tribute bands, comedy and jazz, and Fleet Town have four home games.

Everything below comes from the organisers’ own listings, first read on 29 September 2026 and re-checked on 3 October: The Harlington’s box office, Fleet Town Council’s and Hart District Council’s event pages, West Green House’s calendar, Victoria Hall’s ticket listings and the Football Association’s fixture record. Each entry links back to its source, so check before you set off. For places that are open whatever the month, see things to do in Fleet.
