Trinity Community Arts are holding their annual FREE family-friendly fireworks party on Sunday 1st November.
This year's event promises to provide even more unmissable fun. -We'll be easy to find, as every inch of our exterior will be colourfully lit with fantastic moving light projections.
From the moment the bonfire is lit at 7pm, the evening's festivities are set to go off with a bang !
Top funksters The Ambling Band supply a big brass backdrop to the firework display and death-defying fire performances.
Feast on hot home-cooked dishes, washed down with a cup of mulled cider...
Then we move indoors at 8.30pm, as gypsy-jazz-turbo-skiffle festival sensations The Glitzy Bag Hags take the stage, the merriment will be unstoppable!
The night continues with Sound Selector Read Jones bringing a top-class show to Trinity. -Vintage reggae, rock & soul, plus rare-groove funk & ska from the finest musicians on the planet.
Dust off your dancing shoes –It's going to be a SCORCHER!
