Hillfields Fireworks Festival
of Light, Coventry, West Midlands, Saturday 01 Nov 2008
Southfields School starting at 6.00pm
Hillfields
is planning its annual fireworks spectacular, and this year's event
combines the celebration of two traditions, both Bonfire Night and
Diwali so this year's event will be called Hillfields Fireworks
Festival of Light.
Nearly
one thousand people from across Hillfields are currently taking part in
arts activities to produce costumes and giant lanterns for a procession
to be held on the night. They will also produce an atmospheric show in
a copse of trees using dry-ice and UV light. Local artist Kate Turner
has been working with people of all ages to create lotus flowers,
phoenix birds, and much more that will delight and inspire.
The
line up of entertainment includes live music from Coventry's community
radio station the HillzFM and live performances from dance troupes and
fire performers. Traditional bonfire night foods will be on sale
alongside fresh doughnuts, hot dogs, ice-cream and wonderful Indian
food.
The firework
display normally attracts up to 2,000 people so to avoid queues on the
night take advantage of the sizzling special offer on advance tickets.
Prices are £2 for adults in advance and £2.50 on the gate, £1 for
children in advance and £1.50 on the gate, only £5 in advance for a
family ticket covering 2 adults and 3 children and £7 on the gate.
Tickets are available from Hillfields Schools, Post Offices, Hillfields
Children's Centre, and the Neighbourhood Management office at 31
Primrose Hill Street.
