A WELL-LOVED firework display and community funfair will return to Leverhulme Park.

The funfair will open at 6pm on Friday November 1, with presenters from Tower FM entertaining visitors until the display at 8pm.

A wide variety of rides, and food including black peas, toffee apples, and candy-floss will be on offer.

Bolton Council organised the event in association with Tower FM and Operation Treacle, a multi-agency initiative to promote safety around Halloween and Bonfire Night.

Travel by public transport is encouraged as there is limited parking nearby.

Cllr Martyn Cox, Deputy Leader of Bolton Council said: “The Leverhulme Park firework display is one of the most popular events of the year and we look forward to welcoming everyone to what I’m sure will be a spectacular evening.

“This is a great opportunity for Bolton residents of all ages to enjoy fireworks in a safe and controlled environment.

A free bus will be available for 13 to 19-year-olds.

Buses will leave Stand G at Bolton Interchange every 15 minutes from 6pm to 7.15pm and will drop passengers off on Bury Road, with return journeys starting at 9pm.

Stewards will be present throughout the event, providing visitors with a safe environment to enjoy the display.

To ensure everyone’s safety, people are asked to only to attend official displays and to not bring their own fireworks or sparklers to the event.
