Two firework displays in line for Shrewsbury bonfire event
There’s only one thing better than a fireworks display - two fireworks displays, and that is what is being planned for Shrewsbury later this year.
The annual charity fireworks and bonfire spectacular will be taking place on November 3 at the Greenhous West Mid Showground and will once again feature two displays on the night.
Thousands of people attend the event every year which offers a variety of entertainment including a fair and live music.
Jan Forrest, showground manager, said organisers were sticking with the successful format of last year’s event which offered the flexibility of two firework displays.
“It went very well last year so there seems little point in tinkering too much with what is a winning formula,” she said.
“November 3, is the date to put in your diary.
“Gates open at 4pm, the bonfire will be lit one hour later and the first fireworks display will take place at 6.15pm.
“This will be sound-sensitive with more colour and less bang - ideal for small children.
“The second display starts at 7.45pm and this will be the usual loud blockbuster event that you normally associate with Bonfire Night.
“Anyone attending the first show will be more than welcome to stay for the second."
Tickets are priced at £10 for adults, £5 for children and £25 for a family ticket which would admit two adults and three children.
All proceeds will go to the Shropshire and West Midlands Agricultural Society’s Rural Charity.
