<p>Big shout out to this family-friendly bonfire and firework show which has been running for 76 years this year &#8211; that’s <em>a lot</em> of Catherine wheels. If you’re more of a purist when it comes to Guy Fawkes Night, then you’ll appreciate the crackling bonfire, jaw-dropping fireworks, food stalls and lack of 00s boy bands. Taking centre stage this year are the Swamptruck Goodtime Band, bringing their foot-stompin’, toe-tappin’ Americana and bluegrass rock — you&nbsp;<em>will</em>&nbsp;find yourself doing a little line-dance shimmy! Adults £10 and Children £7. Gates open 4:30pm.</p>
