Where to watch some of the county's best fireworks displays on Bonfire Night
Yes, it's that time of year again, when we burn poor old Guy Fawkes to a cinder on top of thousands of bonfires up and down the country and enjoy the snap, crackle and bang of fireworks as we munch on baked potatoes and mushy peas.
Everyone enjoys a good firework display and revellers won't be disappointed with the wide choice of venues in and around Lincoln that are putting on a first-class display this year.
Lincolnshire Showground is once again hosting a massive event, this year being staged by Lincolnshire Fireworks. There will be a traditional bonfire, a giant funfair, food stalls, entertainment, sideshows and more.
"This is certainly the biggest event in the Lincoln calendar," said events secretary Vicki Odam.
"We had about 5,000 people come along last year and this year's event promises to be just as big.
"We've got fire-eaters who will totally amaze you. For the kids, there are some rather large teddy bears and other animals wandering around to keep them entertained – so please do come along."
It all kicks off at the showground tomorrow – gates open at 4pm and there will be a children's firework display at 6.30pm.
Guy Fawkes will get his comeuppance on top of the bonfire at 7.30pm and then the main fireworks display starts at 8.30pm. Book tickets online at www.lincolnshirefireworks.co.uk for a ten per cent discount or call 01522 703344.
