The organisers of Harrogate‘s annual bonfire and fireworks on the Stray have released further details about this year’s event.
The event, which is organised by Harrogate and District Round Table, will return on Saturday, November 4, for its 52nd year.
The bonfire will be lit on the Oatlands Stray near to St Aidan’s Church of England High School.
It will take place from 5pm until 8.30pm and include fireworks and live music.
The event is free to attend but the round table, which is a charity, will raise funds for Harrogate Homeless Project.
Ut has set up a GoFundMe page and urged people to text BONFIRE to 70560 to donate £5.
Matthew Firth, who has helped to set up the event, said:
“It is important that we help end homelessness on the streets of Harrogate.
“Especially going into wintertime when the mercury regularly drops below freezing and these poor people, often through no fault of their own, end up on the streets.”
Visitors on the night will be able to buy burgers, sausages, hotdogs and vegetarian options served by local scout groups.
Vintage Event Bars will run a licensed bar at the event, serving a selection of alcohol. Soft and hot drinks will also be available.
Toilets will be available on site.
Live performances will be held on the pop-up stage throughout the night — with Three Strikes Band already confirmed — and more to be announced.
Organisers have asked people not to bring sparklers to the event for safety reasons.
