A Salford school hosted its first-ever Family Fireworks event on Sunday November 8, bringing together local families for an evening of fireworks, fairground rides and live entertainment.
Salford City Academy’s school grounds were transformed into a colourful Bonfire Night celebration, with bright lights, fairground attractions and food stalls creating a lively atmosphere. The event attracted a large crowd, with families of all ages coming together to enjoy the evening.
There was plenty of entertainment for visitors before the main fireworks display. A live band performed, while stilt walkers made their way through the crowds, adding to the festive atmosphere. Another unusual attraction was a performer dressed as a disco ball, complete with flashing lasers, who entertained visitors as they walked around the grounds.
For those looking for something more adventurous, there were several fairground rides, including a Twister and a fun house. Visitors could also stop by the food stalls, with churros among the treats available throughout the evening. With so much happening around the school, there was plenty to keep families entertained while waiting for the fireworks.
The highlight of the evening was the 20-minute fireworks display, which lit up the night sky with a variety of colours and effects. The display offered plenty of variety, building towards an impressive finale that brought the crowds’ attention to the sky.
Despite the large turnout, the event was well organised, with entry proving straightforward and no queues on arrival. There was also plenty of space for visitors to gather and enjoy the display without feeling overcrowded.
With tickets priced at just £2 per person, the event offered an affordable evening out for local families. Considering the range of entertainment, fairground rides and the fireworks display, it provided excellent value for money.
More than just a fireworks display, the event gave local residents an opportunity to come together and celebrate Bonfire Night as a community. It also allowed Salford City Academy to open its doors to families in the area and put on an event for people of all ages to enjoy.
For its first year, Salford City Academy’s Family Fireworks event made a strong impression. With something for everyone, an impressive display and affordable ticket prices, it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and one that would be welcome back next year.
