• • Little Sparks display.
  • Low-level fireworks for young children.
  • The bigger firecracker display at 7:30pm.

As well as the festivities of fireworks, there will also be a lot on offer for attendees with a choice of food and drink options with a funfair onsite. There will also be live music throughout the night, with performances from –

• • • Krin – a combination of African rhythms and analogue synths.
    • Alex Spencer – street smart indie-pop newcomer.
    • New York Brass Band – bringing a New Orleans style party to the event.
    • Pops Roberts – hosting & DJing through the evening.

But the excitement doesn’t stop there for Salford locals with a second event on the Sunday in Irlam for Bonfire night.

The free event gives the Salford community a chance to come together to enjoy a traditional bonfire night experience with another firework display.

Councillor Barbara Bentham, Lead Member for Environment, Neighbourhoods, Sports and Leisure said: “I’m sure residents will be looking forward to the range of traditional and new activities we have brought together this year.

“Our aim is to make sure Salford residents have a safe and fun time this bonfire night and attending one of these organised events rather that hosting their own displays in their gardens is the best way to do that.”
