S-park-ling shows!
LIVERPOOL'S 2 fireworks displays are
all about the feel good factor. They will be held at Sefton and Newsham Parks,
on Thursday, 5 November 2015, the free illuminations. Both displays will start at 7.30pm, and will be synchronised to a crowd pleasing
soundtrack.
The playlist for the evening includes:- Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno
Mars, Frozen favourite Let It Go, Nat King Cole's classic When I Fall In Love
and brand new Bond theme Writing's On The Wall by Sam Smith.
Liverpool's Assistant Mayor, Councillor Wendy Simon, said:- "These
displays have become a staple of resident's events calendars, and it feels like
we step up the spectacular each year.
Last year, more than 40,000 people enjoyed both sets of fireworks, and we had a
fantastic reaction not only to the visual feast, but also to the accompanying
soundtrack. So we wanted to build on this for 2015 and the team have come up
with a great up lifting set list which will really add to the atmosphere.
We want everyone to enjoy 5 November, yet be safe at the same time, and
organised displays are a great way to achieve this.
I'm sure this year's events will be just as popular as previous years and once
again there will be a great community feel to the event as everyone 'oohhs' and
'aahhhs' in unison!"
For the second year, Heart North West will be the media partner for the event,
and presenters Joel Ross and Lorna Bancroft will be hosting the display at Sefton
Park, and Heart Angels will be hosting Newsham Park.
The presenters said:- "We're really looking forward to working with
Liverpool City Council on this year's fireworks events, after hosting the events
last year we are really excited to be involved with both the displays in Sefton
and Newsham Park again this year.
We'll also be giving all of the latest travel and access news for the fireworks
displays on air on the day of the events to make sure any visitors can access
and exit the displays as quickly and safely as possible."
Visitors to the displays are advised to leave early in plenty of time to travel
to the event. There is limited accessible parking at Croxteth Drive, Sefton Park
and Gardners Drive at Newsham Park.
Due to significant road work disruption at the junction of Smithdown Road, Ullet
Road and Greenbank Drive we encourage you to leave your cars at home as delays
are expected. The event organisers would urge Sefton Park attendees to walk
around the park to the review field and to avoid the café area in the centre of
the park in order to avoid congestion and delays.
Those attending the events are asked not to bring their own fireworks, sparklers
or Chinese lanterns.
They are also asked to wear sensible clothing and footwear and not to bring dogs
to the display.
The displays will last for approximately 20 minutes.
The City Council is working closely with Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and
Merseyside Police to ensure people enjoy 5 November safely and reduce the
problems which can be associated with this time of year.
Members of the public are being asked to make sure they don't leave potentially
flammable material lying around, and not to give young people timber or other
combustible materials for use on bonfires. |
