PLYMOUTH HOE BONFIRE & FIREWORK NIGHT

Thursday, November 5.
6.00pm start
Bonfire Night fun for all the family on Plymouth Hoe
The sky will be lit up over Plymouth Hoe on November 5 with colourful explosions and bright lights for Bonfire Night.
The event will start on the Hoe at 6pm with live entertainment from Heart FM who will be entertaining the crowd from their show stage on the Hoe promenade.
A huge traditional bonfire will be lit at 7.30pm with fireworks being launched from the Citadel Ramparts at 8pm.
This year a dramatic soundtrack of music will accompany the spectacular firework display. Smeaton's Tower, The Citadel and the War Memorial will also be 'colourwashed' with coloured floodlighting to complement the glow of the traditional bonfire.
There will also be fairground rides and refreshments available from food stalls throughout the evening.
Parking will be available on the Hoe Promenade for Blue Badge holders on a first come, first served basis. Access will be via Elliot Street.
There will be no parking on Hoe Road alongside Plymouth Citadel. The Barbican car park will close at 11.45pm but the Sutton Harbour Plymouth locking gate will close at 9.30pm.
As part of its crackdown on illegal bonfires, Plymouth City Council is encouraging Plymouth residents to enjoy the celebrations on the Hoe or attend a properly organised event, rather than build their own bonfires.
