Fireworks

Anyone know what time the fireworks start?

22:45 we've been told

They sounded pretty impressive. Made the dogs up the road bark :)

Pretty lame compared to previous years. Over in 10 mins. No mortars. Cutbacks huh.

This feels like months ago now but worth bringing up - 

What was with the fireworks being so smokey !? Were they trying out eco-friendly fireworks that give off way too much smoke? 

I watched them all from a distance and it looked like the entire south hill was being smoked out!

Other than the fact it's overly crowded, I feel this 'entertainment' is a bit over-rated.

I thought it looked great from the Stone Circle - never been up there for that or the wicker burning. Great atmosphere up there!

All fireworks are smoky… The problem was the lack of wind. I’ve seen it happen before at huge fireworks displays like Alton Towers and it’s a shame when it does.

Smoke issues were due to the very light airs into the site - from the stone circle I could see across the back of the ones above the Park and they were clear as normal.

There seemed to be fewer fireworks in general this year. As a cost cutting measure it's one I fully understand and support as they're a huge expense for a very short effect but it was a noticeable loss.
