Mayors technicolour firework fiesta
The sky over Basingstoke will be lit up in technicolour on 5 November, courtesy of the Mayor of Basingstoke and Deane. The annual Mayor’s firework display will this year be held on Thursday 5 November at the War Memorial Park. Disabled parking will be available at Crossborough Hill. Fire entertainers, a funfair and Heart FM roadshow will also be there on the night. The gates will open at 6pm and the fireworks display is scheduled to begin at approximately 7.30pm.
