Celebrate bonfire night in Glasgow Green, with Glasgow’s infamous and spectacular musical fireworks display.
This years event is supported by ticketSOUP.COM so the theme will be based on songs from artists who will be performing at the SECC, including George Michael, Katy Perry, Rihanna, Duran Duran and JLS.Top of Form
Last years fireworks display in Glasgow Green was the best yet. More than 50,000 explosions were set to music, with the timing almost perfect, and the biggest shells in the UK being fired up into the night sky.
The night is not just about fireworks though; there will be pre-show music and fun with Clyde 1′s Romeo and Knoxy, a funfair and food and drink stalls. Enough to make sure that everyone is entertained!
The Glasgow fireworks show offers a free, safe and family oriented evening of fun.
Special Mention
Lewes, East Sussex
Lewes’ bonfire night celebrations are definitely not for the weak hearted. This unruly parade is filled with colourful costumes, flaming torches, and shrilling shouts of people as they march to burn Guy effigies. All roads close down so that seven different bonfire societies can lead their own march throughout the town. Marches begin as early at 5:30pm, so make sure you get there early to grab a place and watch this remarkable event take place. Be warned that is does get overcrowded, and these Lewes bonfires tend not to be a place to bring children, as they might be frightened. http://www.lewesbonfirecouncil.org.uk/
