Our town is rubbish for bonfires, they only have one and its £5 per adult and isn't that good

There is one at Weston Park we've been to a few times, its £16 a car, so a bit more more, although its 45 minutes away in the car...anyway they have a fun fair and radio etc there and really good fireworks

Reckon we will go to Weston Park again

What are you doing?

We're going to Blackpool to the inlaws and it's illuminations switch off weekend so I'm hoping there is some sort of display to take the kids to. Will get some sparklers and stuff for the garden too

xx

Im glad your still going to that Debs!



We're not doing anything because it's not celebrated here... boooo.

there is a huge free one just down the road from us, not sure if we are going to go as its at bedtime and i think the fireworks might be a bit loud for elijah - if we want to go look we will maybe go up the hill we live on so we can watch them without the big booms

There is a restaurant/pub type place near us that has a big lake, so we are taking Aimee and meeting our friends (and her 8 year old boyfriend!!) there and having dinner first, then going to watch the fireworks over the lake.

Lily is going to be in bed babysat by nanny x

Yeah me too! I forgot to update that post - I'm rubbish at forums they ended up changing his shifts AGAIN and now he is staying on tues-sat but 'has' to work 4 sundays as over time between now and xmas so not great but better and at least this way he gets a bit of extra pay for xmas

There's a display in the next town from us but it's £5 each and my friend told me all the teenagers go to get drunk there so not sure about going. Immi got a bit scared when we did rockets at halloween so not sure I wana play just to have her cry the whole time

were not doing anything. we set some fireworks off at halloween to see if he likes them and he doesnt!!! so alfie sleeping out and me and gav going for a meal instead haha x

We're going to a free display in Harrogate, no idea where cos Rob has organised it with his mum lol xx

We have one just down the road from us bt its full of teenagers drinking so were going abit further out to a school has a few lil rides food firework and stalls x

We might be going to two, one at Manor Park on the Sat and one at the football club on the Sunday. might be not sure yet. I'd rather go to the football club as there is seating as Manor park is such a big advent and i'm scared we might lose Rowan

thay charge for you to go ???

our one is 6 miles away and they just hover with donation pales
Mike is working so i would have to bus it in to town with 3 kids and the buses are silly times after 6pm so think we are going to pass on it this year , hopefully Mike will be on a early or better off completely on sunday and we will do something x

Yes they charge .. do you know how much fireworks cost?! its like thousands of pounds plus its at a stately house and its a massive event

Usually the only free ones are run by local organisations who have raised money to pay for it already!

ah we have ppl that vollect money all year for the fireworks then they raise loads on the night to

There's usually a free one in our town but it's always jam packed and very muddy and theres nowhere to park.

I'm oh will do some fireworks in the garden for us.

Dont really celebrate it here. The army camp does but and we can see a few of their fireworks from our living room window but cant see the bonfire. We aren't allowed on camp obviously.

Basically we doing nothing, same as everyone else here!

Pen, we went to Spike Island a couple of times before Bethany came along and it was ok, good fireworks but as you say parking was a bit of a nightmare so we were usually parked somewhere off Ashley Way and walked the rest of the way.
We have got a little box of fire works for Bethany and I've planned to do a hotpot, some hotdogs and some other bits.

Lesley, I'm ashamed to say that I've probably only ever been there once!

I love Spike Island but just hate crowds of pushing people and hunting for a parking space!

I'm happy with our own little party in our garden xxx

Scrap that! The camp had their display 2nite so I wont even be peering out a window!

Umm well we was a drayton manor sat and they had a bonfire display and noah loved them. The weather forecast here is heavy rain sat so will see what its like on the night.

But if weather ok, we usually go tamworth castle for their display they have a fun fair there too, or might go to a pub thats doing them or go to SILs if raining and have a chill out night there.

We're at my fil so not doing anything but they have free fireworks down the seafront every Saturday from the start of September so we took Jamie down to go on the rides and watch the fireworks a few weeks ago

We are now going to the one in town, cos having Sunday dinner at my parents

TBH Izzy wont mind...I hadn't told her there was a fair ground there so she doesnt know what she is missing!

Were walking down to the one on base here, im putting Alyssa in her baby carrier so that shes close to me and will put her hat on to drown out the noise a bit xx
