entertainment start at
6:00 p.m
fireworks at 7:00 pm
ends 7:30 p.m.
Note the date - after one or two chnages these arrangements are now fixed. Apologies for the rather late notice. The change from the 30th to the 29th of November was due to a Health and Safety problem raised by the police who were concerned that the co-incidence of Peter Pan and fire-work audiences could cause overcrowding problems. Peter Pan is not performed on Wednesdays.
NOTE that the evenings entertainment starts at 6:pm, as advertised, with various entertainments - funfare, music, aerobatics amd 'video presentation'.
BE WARNED - for obvious reasons, there will be a limit to the total number of people allowed in so get there early!
