Thousands watch fireworks

Posted on Friday, 14 November 2008

Lancaster’s spectacular fireworks display was a great success again this year even with the rain and the mud.

The display, organized by Lancaster City Council, marked the end of a day of events in Lancaster themed on the 1605 Gunpowder Plot. Taking place in a variety of the city's historic buildings, the events included period music groups Hautbois and Diabolus in Musica, talks on Lancaster's connection with the Gunpowder Plot, and guided walks.

Other fireworks displays went of over the weekend including the fireworks in Stavely which was a wet affair but was still brilliant despite the unfortunate circumstances.
