Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder treason and plot!
I love this time of year! Getting out in the elements on a cold night gives a real sense of adventure and brings back memories of childhood. Wrapping up warm with sparklers, toffee apples and huddling together over a hot chocolate to watch the one of the fireworks displays taking place across the town is something that makes this time of year so special.
Here is our round up of the best local fireworks displays this year. There are quite a few displays happening over both weekends this year, so why not try and get to as many as you can?
