Gates open at 5.30pm with live music from Rocks and Frocks from 6.30pm. The fireworks are planned to start at 7.30pm, so not too late for the little ones.

Tickets here are £4 for adults and £2.50 for children with a family ticket (two adults and two children) priced £13.

Hot and cold food, including a chocolate fountain, and fully licensed bar courtesy of Ruddington's The Three Crowns, will also be on site.
