Fireworks in Highworth and the Polo Ground.

Saturday night went out with a bang, a whiz and a flash across the town, with rockets, fountains, Catherine wheels and sparklers brightening up our dreary skies.

It was family fun galore at the Polo Ground on Marlborough road, with a fun fair, fairground organ, hot food and drinks stalls, as well as a generous fireworks display. The event was a great hit – and best of all, all proceeds from the firework display will go to The Swindon Lions' charitable causes.

Another popular choice was the Highworth Recreation ground which played host to an array of bright lights, a fantastic bonfire – and of course, the traditional Guy Fawkes. Bonfire night just wouldn't be the same without it.
