It's Bonfire Night this Saturday 5th November, have you decided where you're going to watch the fireworks? There are loads of events to choose from in Notts so we thought we'd help out with a quick guide to the best bonfire parties to go to.

The bonfire will be on Nottingham Moderns Rugby Ground next to the tram stop between the Ferry Inn and the Toll Bridge (it'll be pretty hard to miss!). And there'll be two firework displays, a hog roast, plenty of real ale, and live music from local bands Terminal 5 Experience and Homesick.
