The event will take place at the West Mid Showground, off Berwick Road in Shrewsbury, on November 6 with gates opening to the crowds at 3pm and the bonfire will be lit at 6.30pm, followed by the fireworks.

This year Severn Radio’s breakfast show presenters Neil and Carlie will be on site and live music will entertain the crowds throughout the event.

There will also be a funfair, hot food and drinks, face painting, a licensed bar and much more.

Mary Hopkins, general manager, said: “The annual bonfire and firework event has attracted thousands of people in the past and we are all set for the crowds to return this year.

“We are pleased to offer people of all ages a large venue in Shrewsbury that they can attend for their November fun and are opening the gates early so that people of all ages can get involved and have a great afternoon and evening.”

Entry for adults is £5, £2 for children and under fives are free.

The event will go ahead in all weathers and exits have been improved for the 2011 event.

“We were so well attended last year it caused some problems at the end of the event as people headed home. This year the event is set to be bigger and better than ever before so we have improved the exits to cater for high numbers,” added Mary.

A river taxi will also be on hand to transport people from Victoria Quay to and from the showground between 5pm and 9pm.
