Warwick Town Bonfire and Fireworks at the racecourse was a "great success" with over 5,000 people making the most of the mild weather. 

Sambassadors of Sound players provided lively entertainment whilst crowds tucked into hot food from the many stalls, filled the racecourse bars, and children ran around with flashing swords and wands. 

Mayor of Warwick Cllr Dave Skinner and sponsors joined organisers to watch the event from Chandlers bar.

A short show to Halloween themes at 6pm was met with applause, then gasps of excitement greeted the spectacular show by Fantastic Fireworks set to Taylor Swift's music. 

Warwick Lions, Warwick Rotary Club and Warwick Racecourse were pleased by the turnout on Saturday (2 November).

Neil Chisholm who chaired the Bonfire team said: "Our volunteers have worked hard for the last six months to make the show a reality and it is a relief to have everything come together.

"Lions and Rotary depend on these events to raise money for charity, and continue our work." 

Local sponsorship was provided by; Geberit, Taylor Wimpey, Warwick Startin Kia, Godfrey Payton, Wenman Healthcare and Delta Marriott hotel.

Warwick Ambulance Association volunteers provided First Aid support and Air Cadets helped to set up.

The pallets for the Bonfire were supplied by Uniparts Logistics. Our thanks go to Thomas Williams and his team at Warwick Racecourse and everyone else for their support.

All proceeds will go to local charities and good causes.
