When is it?

On Saturday, November 2 crowds will come from across Ipswich and further afield to see the skies light up with the park's 48th firework display.

What to expect?

This year's display will be James Bond inspired, with copious catering stalls, a roaring bonfire, a bar, and tons of family-friendly entertainment.

These include DiggerWorld, balloon modelling, Bond inspired face painting, body glitter, and henna tattoos.

Steve Wright, one of the UK's most sought-after Daniel Craig James Bond lookalikes - who was at the Cornhill this weekend- will bring his licence to thrill alongside the Casino Royale inspired Martini and Gin bar, where local singers Adam Thomas and Chelsea Francis will be performing.
