FIREWORKS, fun and flames will return to Leverhulme Park on Friday.

The annual firework spectacular will fill the night sky with dazzling colour complete with a dramatic musical accompaniment.

Bolton Council’s executive cabinet member for culture and sport, Cllr John Byrne, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for families and young people to enjoy Bonfire Night in a safe and responsible environment.

“It is always a popular event and we are looking forward to welcoming everyone to Leverhulme Park to enjoy what will be a spectacular and entertaining firework display.”

As well as the firework display the community funfair will also return with a wide variety of rides and traditional treats like black peas, toffee apples and candy-floss.

The funfair opens at 6pm and Tower FM presenters will entertain the crowds until 8pm when the free firework display will start.

Visitors are asked not to bring their own fireworks or sparklers.

There is limited parking so visitors are asked to take advantage of public transport.

A free bus to and from the event will be available for 13 to 19-year-olds.

These buses will leave Stand G at Bolton Interchange every 15 minutes from 6pm to 7.15pm and will drop passengers off on Bury Road.

Return journeys to Stand A at the Bolton Interchange will start at 9pm from Bury Road.
