There will be funfair rides and family entertainment with Hebborns Funfair offering half-price rides until 6pm.
The event won't feature a bonfire this year. Safety measures will be in place to protect the ground at South Park, including the use of the temporary roadway both under the funfair and for vehicle access.
Organisers have said the food village and bars will be selling a wide variety from local producers. Also Hebborn’s will be providing funfair rides for all the family to enjoy. The Super Family Tent, the tented enclosure, with inclusive food and drink as well as great view of the fireworks, will also be operating.
