Markeaton Park fireworks display , Derby, Derbyshire

Uploaded by comedyhunter on Nov 5, 2007
Every November to celebrate Guy Fawkes night , Markeaton Park in Derby is host to a great free Firework display. This year over 20,000 people visited Markeaton Park.
In 2007 it was held on Saturday 3rd November.
If you are thinking of going to this event in 2010 see my blog :

Around 4000 fireworks were launched, A Bonfire was lit at 6.45 and the fireworks started around 7pm.
The fireworks were organised by Reaction Fireworks of County Durham:

The footage I took was actually taken from the car park of Park Farm Shopping Centre, Allestree.
Its a mixture of Video and photography, I did not use a tripod so not as good as hoped.
Any Derbians out there that remember the Bonfire and fireworks events that used to be held on Normaton Park in the early 1980's. I remember those, not sure what year they stopped having it at that park do you?
If you don't live in the U.K. and want to learn more about Guy Fawkes night then see here :
