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 local fireworks displays this year (in date order).
Fireworks Festival
Friday 24th October
This first one is actually happening a little early, but STAGs and Verulam Schools have teamed up to hold a Fireworks Festival with DJ, food and bar (and fireworks, of course!).
