The evening entertainment will include children’s fairground rides and music provided by Radio Jackie who will be broadcasting live in the arena. This family event prioritises firework safety and visitors are advised not to bring sparklers to the event as these will not be permitted by the stewards.  Catering and toilet facilities will be available on site during the evening.
