I was moved to “reach out” ( see other thread on this!!) for your thoughts on fireworks displays because we’ve (SWIMBO, daughter and grandson) just got home after one.
It was held in the grounds of Hartlebury Castle, near Kidderminster, and the organisers had made an effort; street food courtyard (actually good food although as you’d expect expensive), funfair rides for children, funfair style stalls (win a prize - hook a duck sort of thing), a bar, some stalls selling “event” type goods, and a dj, together with various characters. Elsa from Frozen, Captain America, etc., and some stilt walkers and fire eaters before the fireworks, which were pretty good.
What made the whole thing for me, and allowed an old man to go home happy, was the dj played the whole of Thunderstruck by AC/DC during the second 5 minutes of the fireworks!
Oh, did I want to bellow “thunder” at the appropriate times! Sadly SWIMBO was thinking of the people around us when she stopped me from bellowing.
They also had a laser display running alongside the music and fireworks that again, was quite atmospheric.
It’s definitely firework display time from this weekend till next weekend, I wondered if anyone’s going to a display?
