Annual Swindon Lions Club fireworks display by Atom Fireworks at the Polo Ground, with a funfair, refreshment stalls and Pudsey.
The Swindon Lions are back at The Polo Ground on Saturday 7 November, their annual fireworks display returning for another year. It's a long-running one: the Lions Club has been putting on a professional show at the Polo Ground for more than 40 years, and it's come to be a proper Swindon tradition.
Atom Fireworks are on the display this time, and there's more to it than just the fireworks. Edwards Funfair will be running, and there are refreshment stalls on site, with BBC Radio Wiltshire on the mic throughout. Pudsey is expected to make an appearance, too.
Every penny from the night goes into the Lions' charity account, which the club uses to respond to requests for help. Over the past year, that's supported community causes, welfare and social care, overseas disaster relief appeals and youth projects across Swindon, including Alternative Angels, Swindon Food Collective, Prospect Hospice, Big Breakfast, Julia's House, CALM, Wiltshire Air Ambulance and Hearing Dogs.
