Abbey Park Fireworks, Bonfire and Drinks

I was feeling absolutely terrible the previous evening and had to drag myself out the house to attend this event. On one hand this was a welcome break from endless walks and on the other it wasn't a mad night out drinking which I certainly wasn't up for.

We met at Leicester clocktower and headed to the park after half an hour. We were some of the first in, the weather was dry and not too cold which is always a bonus.

First display I'd been to for years and was amazed by the scale of the even, walked for 15 minutes beyond the stage pictured above, passed the funfair and they had another fire on at the far end. If you didn't get food or drinks first thing (I did) you were going to be waiting ages.

A small display for the kids, fire jugglers, a singer with the sound terribly mixed and finally the main firework display at 8pm.

Not my video.

The crowd quickly started leaving after 8:20, was invited for drinks in town but not feeling it and went home
