Can anyone recommend a good fireworks display for this weekend? Work has been a bit crazy and I haven't had time to look and see what's about. Thanks PT

The Ware display is usually very good, but might be a slight problem to travel there. I have also heard good things about the Sele School one (but I have never been to that one)

I am going to the Sele school display with Mrs Wrapper and the little fella. Apparently is it the dog's nadgers.

If you just want the fireworks. Then go to fairlands in Stevenage it lasts for ages and it's free.

The display at the cowper primary school in birch green on Friday night is usually very good - and best of all they have excellent braughing burgers and sausages!

Blimey. I see our old friend jayzee (old landlord of The Bridge House) is in hot water with the neighbours over fireworks.

Stanbrough Lakes, WGC is usually brillant with the reflections from the Fireworks being mirrored in the lakes. It used to be free, not sure now though.

We went to the display at Bengeo School on Saturday night. It was very well attended and well run, lasted 20 minutes and there was lots of ooohing and aaaahing, mostly from me, plus lots of little kids hiding their eyes! The only thing that could possibly improve it would be to have a PA system playing a bit of background music before the event, plus someone to announce when it's going to start, rather than leave it to a youngster with a megaphone. Also, £1 for a cup of warm coffee at a school event is a bit excessive. Apart from that it was £4 each to get in and we enjoyed the event.

I went to that display also Fishwife. It was really good I have to say, wasn't expecting that at all..My only gripe was that the wife enticed me by saying they had a beer tent, not sure if it was just me but I saw a sign for the 'Beer Tent' but couldn't seem to locate any beer...... Anyhow it was a good display and nice to see so many Bengeo residents in attendance.

I think the shops are having a sale on the fireworks so no chance of that, yes can't wait until 12 o'clock New Year, certain religious festivals, wedding's, Birthday's & even funerals if you want them to go out with a bang.
