Fireworks and fun to draw crowds

THE skies above Chesterfield will sparkle as the annual fireworks night event returns to Stand Road Park.

Organised by Chesterfield Borough Council, tens of thousands of people are expected this year.

The council has partnered with Chesterfield Football Club to deliver the entertainment, which in the past has been big-name pop acts on stage.

The event will cost £2 to enter, with under-5s getting in for free, and is on Friday, November 5, with the gates opening at 4.30pm and closing at 9pm. There will be a selection of fairground rides and food vendors.

Cllr Kate Sarvent, Chesterfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for town centres and visitor economy, said: “Our fireworks event is one of the most popular in the calendar.

“It’s fantastic to be partnering with the football club to deliver this year’s event. Please wrap up warm, wear suitable footwear and come along to join in the fun.”
