Leicester's bonfire and fireworks to return this year

Leicester's bonfire and fireworks to return this year

AFTER being cancelled last year due to the pandemic, Leicester's biggest bonfire and fireworks display will be back to the city.

The event on November 6 at Abbey Park will feature live music and a fire-breathing dragon statue.


However, the nearby Nottingham has cancelled its official fireworks display for the second year too due to Covid-19 concerns.

Kellie Bugby from Leicester City Council, which would organise the event, said it was "fantastic" to be back.

She added: "We feel confident that in an enclosed park with a ticketed event we can go ahead safely."

There would be measures in place to prevent the spread of infections, including regular cleaning of rides, with hand-sanitising stations in place, she said.

In the past, up to 26,000 people have watched the display.
