About the firework event.
Following a washed-out event on the Downs in 2008, and the disappointment of seeing so many freeloaders watching without supporting local charities year after year, Bristol service clubs Bristol Round Table and Clifton Rotary have for 3 years not been able to justify the expense and risk of putting on a public firework display.
Now, after 3 years of intensive planning and discussion, Bristol Round Table and Clifton Rotary are, with the encouragement of Bristol City Council’s Parks Department, looking forward to holding a spectacular display at the city’s Canford Park, in Westbury-on-Trym, on Saturday November 5th.
This will be a fabulous display of fireworks for all the family, and any profit (after necessary third-party costs) will be donated to local charities. The Canford Park event is intended to and will be a local display that will appeal to young families living near the park, and visitors are encouraged to walk to the display (or use public transport) as there will be no parking available on site.
The idea is to have a no frills firework display with no scary bonfires, no expensive rides. It’s just simply going to be a great fireworks fiesta.
One thing we can say is that this massive charity event is being organised by Bristol Round Table and Clifton Rotary Club.
