Anyone know of any decent fireworks displays on saturday!

Nick · Nov 1, 2012

i went to bedworth last year, took them about 5 hours to light the bonfire and fireworks lasted about 6/7 minutes. Waste of a fiver.

Eastern Green is always a good one, about 4quid and is a 10 minute + show. Plenty of stalls etc as well.

I go to the Eastern Green one. Live about 30 seconds away from the park.

Kenilworth is always good about 30 minutes display not heap though somewhere around 8 quid I think

For the Kenilworth one just stand at the top of Abbey Fields near the castle last year there must have been about 1000 doing that. Good display too

Can't beat the fireworks event they have here in Yarmouth. It's free (donation via a collection). There is a Samba band, a Guy competition, loads of food stalls, then to top it all, after about two hours of entertainment there is a candle lit parade through the town to the green area just off the beach where there is a huge display from a large barge out at sea. Instead of a bonfire, they light a beacon on the green.

Well you don't get many fireworks for a fiver to be honest.

Couldn't you have bought a few more?

If it was me id have filled the dog waste bins with air bombs! Really entertain peoplw!

I have been to Lewes several times. It is very surreal and a little bit mental. Never seen anything like it before and it is probably by far the best display in the country.

Otis · Nov 3, 2012

Best one is having rich neighbours and a very low garden fence!

blueflint · Nov 3, 2012

best one save your brass stay in or spend your brass go to pub

Otis · Nov 3, 2012

So that's what Andy Thorn's up to these days.

Covstu · Nov 3, 2012

went to eastern green bonfire tonight, it was really good. Cannot complain for 4 quid.

Otis · Nov 4, 2012

Hare and Hounds one is completely free. Go most years. Does get packed up there though.

WillieStanley · Nov 4, 2012

Took the family to CRFC at the butts! It was a nice enough evening. We chose that because SB Sam was there and he's my daughters hero! The display was good and food was cheap. They had a Dj from Touch there who was absolutely awful bit other than that it was a great evening, thoroughly recommended!

Otis · Nov 4, 2012

Been to the Cov rugby club one before. The main thing that disappoints me there is that the display goes on too long and becomes boring.

Last two occasions I've been my daughter even stopped watching and focused her attention on something else. It goes on for well over 40 mins and just gets monotonous.

Best one I have seen lately was at the Godiva Awakes. It was about 15-20 mins and just built up to a tremendous crescendo. Fantastic it was. The ones that last longer just tend to have an awful lot of repetition in them.

At the end of the day there is only so much you can do with fireworks. Short and sweet every time for me.

Covstu · Nov 4, 2012

my daughter was scared with the loud bangs, it was a little late for her also as she is normally in bed by 7. She is only 2 though!!

Houchens Head · Nov 4, 2012

Went to one in Newport IoW last night. Got caked in mud, fireworks were 15 minutes late in starting, then they went on far too long. Should have travelled to Yarmouth! Would have been much better!

Just back from my golf course. They had a really good display that was free.

Nick · Nov 5, 2012

I have been watching out of the bedroom window. Lads over the road have got a big fire on and can see fireworks for miles around and its warm
