Remember, remember! Bonfire Night coming up!

There'll be bonfires and firework displays in and around Richmond on the Fifth of November.

Richmond Town Council and the Fleece Hotel are presenting the town's annual fireworks display from 6 pm, at Richmond School. The display starts at 7 pm, and although it's free there will be a bucket collection. (Will there be a bonfire? We don't know.)

Ten miles away, on Reeth Green (a fabulous location, surrounded by the darkness of the Swaledale fells) the annual Reeth Bonfire and Fireworks display kicks off at 6:30. Again, it's free, with a bucket collection. A barbecue will be available throughout the evening. 

In Leyburn, there'll be a bonfire night event at Thornborough Hall, from 7 to 8:30 pm - we have no other details.

Organisers of these events seem rather coy with their publicity. They should really post a free ad in What's On Richmond. Perhaps your best bet is just to follow the flashes and bangs on the night?
