Fireworks will light up the sky above Stevenage, Hitchin and Letchworth this Sunday, November 5.
Bonfire Night is expected go off with a bang, and here we shed light on three major displays for the area which all take place on the same evening.
Stevenage’s annual effort will once again take place at Fairlands Valley Park.
For residents of the town, the display in the park off Six Hills Way and Fairlands Way starts at 7.30pm and is free to attend.
Stevenage Borough Council’s website states: “You will be able to see the display from all parts of Fairlands Valley Park, so you can come into the park from any entrance.”
There is free parking available in Fairlands Valley Showground, opposite Stevenage FC’s stadium in Broadhall Way.
After no major Hitchin town centre display last year on Bonfire Night, Hitchin Priory will host a beer tent, bonfire and much more.
