Firework fun begins this weekend in Walsall

Bonfire night may still be a couple of weeks away, but the first of Walsall's firework celebrations will take place this weekend.

As with previous years, the council will run three firework displays across three weekends, the first of which taking place at King George V Playing Fields in Bloxwich this Saturday, the 27th.

The gates will open at 6pm, with admission costing £3 for adults and £1 for children. The bonfire will then be lit at 7pm, with the fireworks beginning at 8pm.

Foodstalls and funfair rides will be set up on site, but no alcohol can be consumed and children under 14 must be accompanied by an adult.

The following two weekends will see displays at Holland Park, Brownhills, and Willenhall Memorial Park. For further information on the council-run displays, you can call 07736 388409.
