Fireworks in the park

ON Friday, November 4, there will be a fireworks event with a difference with the Illuminated Garden and Playground by Night at Dartmouth Park, West Bromwich.

Light installations and displays will bring colour to the park and the playground which will take on a “Sandwell Goes Global” theme for the weekend, celebrating the borough’s place in the world. There will also be a surprise appearance by a star of children’s TV, family theatre shows, crafts, food and drink and the event is low-noise so suitable for those who prefer not to attend traditional fireworks displays. Friendly dogs on leads are welcome.

There will be traditional bonfire night celebrations on Saturday, November 5, when the largest choreographed fireworks display ever to be hosted in Sandwell will take place in the park.

Dartmouth Park will be transformed into a mini world stage with the Night Souk Food Zone boasting food from around the world, the Carnevale Zone with a host of funfair rides, the Street Bazaar Shopping Zone and Monaco VIP area.

Both events are open from 5pm until 9pm and parking is available by purchasing a prebooked parking ticket along with your event ticket or by using town centre car parks.
