Description: 

Blue Flames Leisure Centre will once again be holding a fireworks display this year, and are keeping with tradition by hosting it on 5th November. This venue is renowned for their impressive displays, which are held every year.

Gates to the event will open at 5.30pm, with the display itself commencing at 7pm. As well as the fireworks themselves, visitors can look forward to a whole host of stalls and fairground rides, as well as hot food and a bar. Entry costs just £3.50 for adults and £2.50 for children. Tickets are available in advance from the Blue Flames reception, or on the gates on the night itself.

The event will take place in Whitley Park, behind the Blue Flames Leisure Centre, just off Whitley Road in Benton. Limited parking is available at the leisure centre, but Blue Flames is easily accessible by bus, and is just a 5 minute walk from Benton Metro station.  

Although best known for providing sports and leisure facilities, Blue Flames doubles up as a conferencing and events centre, hosting a wide range of functions for the community in Benton. Their annual calendar of events includes everything from conferences and training events to weddings and family parties, and of course their magnificent annual fireworks!
