Clothing / Equipment

  • The Bonfire and Fireworks obviouly take place outdoors, in the evening, in November! Please wear warm clothing –  especially young children – coats, gloves, scarves etc are recommended.
  • Depending on the weather on the day, the park may get muddy, so please wear boots or appropriate footwear.
  • A lot of the site is lit, but some areas of the site can be dark, so please bring a torch.

Food & Drink

  • There will be food and drink retailers on the site selling a range of food and drink (though no alcohol).
  • These stalls will have their own payment arrangements. We cannot guarantee they will take card payments.
  • There is no Cashpoint in the park.
  • No alcohol is to be brought on site, and no open bottles.

Young Children

  • It is dark and busy, so please keep young children close by.
  • If any children do get separated from their family, they will be taken to the First Aid tent (on the main car park) and looked after there.

Toilets

  • There will be no toilets available this year.

Dogs

  • Please do not bring a dog.  We don’t believe the site is appropriate for dogs – the site is very busy, dark, noisy, and the fireworks are really loud.
