A FIREWORKS display will light up the skies in Ferndown next month.

The event will take place at the George V Playing Fields and Pavilion on Saturday, November 2, between 5.30pm and 8.30pm.

As well as a stunning fireworks display, there will also be music, a bar and hot food, plus craft skills, rides and face-painting for the kids. 

While the event is free to enter, donations to King George V charity will be welcomed.

Ferndown Town Council has told residents to "join us for a spectacular fireworks display!"

The following night, on Sunday, November 3, Ringwood Grand Fireworks is returning to Carvers Recreation Ground.

Organised by Ringwood Town Council, this event will feature two firework displays, a fairground, food and drink stalls, plus live music from Swing Unlimited.

A few changes have been made to this year’s event, including more toilets, an increased bar capacity, and ticket sales being made available exclusively online.

Tickets are available via Ringwood Town Council’s website.
