Roll up to Stone’s ‘Greatest’ bonfire and fireworks!
Let the bonfire burn so bright; it really is going to be the Greatest Show at Westbridge Park on Saturday 3rd November for Stone’s big bonfire and fireworks spectacular.
This year’s fireworks display will have music from The Greatest Showman, the hugely popular film about circus impresario PT Barnum starring Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron, with hit songs like Come Alive, Never Enough, A Million Dreams and The Greatest Show.
A huge bonfire will be built with the help of young people from Stone’s Army Cadet group, with lots of community groups also helping to marshal the event.
Gates open at Westbridge Park at 6pm and there will be fairground rides and a range of food-and-drink stalls to keep everyone entertained. The fire will be lit at 7.30pm before a fantastic Greatest Showman-themed firework display bursts into life at around 8pm.
Entrance costs £6 for adults and £4 for children, and it’s pay on the gate, with all proceeds from the event going to support the work of local charities in and around the Stone area. Last year, almost £9,000 was distributed to groups including Stone Community Hub, Stone Outward Guides, Staffordshire Search and Rescue, the Friends of Stonefield Park and the Douglas Macmillan Hospice.
The event is organised by volunteers from the Stone Bonfire Committee. Chairman Richard Stevens said: “Stone’s bonfire and fireworks is a real community event, with so many local people and groups involved, and we’re really looking forward to putting on this year’s show. As always, the event raises lots of money for local charities, so the more people who come along to Westbridge Park on 3 November, the more money we can raise – so roll up for ‘The Greatest’ night of fireworks fun!”
