Guy Fawkes Night is annually held on the 5th November. It is sometimes known as Bonfire Night and marks the anniversary of the discovery of a plot organized by Catholic conspirators to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London in 1605. Many people light bonfires and set off fireworks.This year Guy Fawkes Day and Bonfire Night is officially on Monday 5th November.
To commemorate this annual event, Kingston Round Table and Kingston Rotary Club are delighted to announce that once again they will be hosting Kingston's main Firework Display on Friday 2nd November 2012 at Kingsmeadow Athletics and Fitness Centre Stadium in Surrey.
The organisers promise a display full of colour, noise and excitement, designed to flow with the music.
There will be children’s funfair rides before the show and family activities. Radio Jackie will be on site from 6.30pm to entertain you before the display. The event is aimed very much at the family, with firework safety being a prime consideration - so please do not bring any sparklers, as these will not be permitted by the stewards.
Catering and toilet facilities will be available on site during the evening. There is limited cover in the grandstand but places cannot be booked. However, a covered area is reserved for people with disabilities.
Tickets are now on sale costing just £5.00 for adults and £3.00 for children aged 5 to 11, if purchased in advance. You may buy tickets online by clicking this link HERE .
Alternatively they are available by visiting Kingston Tourist Information Centre, in the Market Place or at Kingsmeadow Athletics and Fitness Centre, Kingfisher Leisure Centre, Tolworth Leisure Centre and the Malden Centre.
Please note that tickets must be purchased in person from these facilities and that unfortunately it is not possible to pay by credit or debit card.
Tickets can be bought on the day at the gate and are £6.00 for adults and £4.00 for children.
Kingsmeadow Stadium will be open from 6.30pm, last entry at 7.45pm, with the firework display commencing at 8.00pm. All surplus proceeds from the event will go to local charities.
The event is organised by Kingston Round Table and Kingston Rotary Club in conjunction with Royal Borough of Kingston and D C Leisure with support from Radio Jackie, the local Police and the St. John Ambulance Service.
