One month today is Sparks in the Park Norwich 2011 – quite possibly Norfolk’s best firework display (well in my humble opinion!). So to help those searching for information on Sparks in the Park here’s all the gen. The flyer from the City Council PDF is below. Or you can scroll down and see it in text form.
Sparks in the Park is the best few quid you’ll ever spend to see top notch fireworks. Or if you’re a cheapskate you could always walk/drive up to Earlham Park and stand nearby. In my opinion, get in there and enjoy the funfair rides and many mouth watering food stalls. Then when the main display starts at 8pm; watch and enjoy the veritable artillery fire of the fireworks (while trying not to think of all the poor wild animals and pets within a 2 mile radius crapping themselves!)
More sparks than you can shake a sparkler at
Have a lark with Sparks in the Park!
It’ll soon be time to light up the Norwich skyline with this year’s fantastic Sparks in the Park event.
So don’t miss your chance to buy tickets to see this year’s two amazing firework displays, huddle round the bonfire, watch the burning of the guy and explore the funfair.
This year’s Sparks event will take place at Earlham Park on Saturday 5 November, with the fun getting underway at 5pm and going through until 10pm. Heart 102.4 will take to the stage to provide the music, with the children’s fireworks starting at 6.30pm followed by the burning of the guy at 6.45pm. The big bang fireworks start at 8pm.
