Transport

Additional buses will operate from all five Park & Ride sites. The last bus for the start of the display will leave Park & Ride sites at 6:30pm and the last return will be at 9pm.

Advice for keeping safe and having fun!
Do not bring fireworks or sparklers to this event
Please take responsibility for your children and arrange your own family meeting point should you become separated
Do wear your wellies or appropriate warm footwear for a muddy Common
Do wrap up warm – Bonfire Night is usually chilly
Check the forecast before you go and bring appropriate wet weather gear if necessary – macs are better than umbrellas if you want everyone to be able to see the fireworks easily
Do bring money with you in case you need to buy food or make a donation – hot food stands and confectionary will be available
Definitely say “oooh” and “ahhhh” as much as you like and take lots of selfies with Guy Fawkes who will be on the loose
