Well i heard 200,000 people attended clapham common last night even without time-out managing to notice it was on!
only 3 listed in north london! pathetic! there must b more of a choice!?
Why on earth do so many of the displays have 'fireworks set to music'... I want to listern to the whizz, bang, thud of the rockets, The whoop of the crowd... Not bleeding music!
Does anyone know if there are fireworks displays in Windsor this year?
wheres the best place to sell sparklers, went clapham common last year, was a bit dry
clapham common doesn't get its own listing? weak
Sanderstead Rec Fireworks are 07/11/2009 according to the website http://www.rotary-ribi.org/clubs/homepage.asp?ClubID=87 1
Only public display in Richmond is at The Richmond Athletic Ground (next to A316). Fireworks set to music - hog roast, mulled wine, covered area in case of rain etc. About 3000 tickets available from The Orange Tree Theatre.
Danson Park Fireworks is probably the biggest , best and most family orientated in SE England . An excellent night out and although not free its 100% for charity
Thoroughlly recommended and absolutely excellent
Is there going to be a display at Tooting Bec Common this year?
when is the sanderstead rec fireworks display?
What about Richmond...are there any fireworks in Richmond Park? If so, anyone know when?
