Fairground gates will open at 3pm, with children’s entertainment as well as food and drink stalls available.

A ‘low bangs’ display will start at 5:30pm.

Swing Unlimited Big Band will be on stage from 6pm, performing their wide repertoire of 30’s and 40’s jazz right through to more modern pop songs for all age groups to enjoy.

The bonfire will be lit around 6.15pm and the main display will begin at 7pm.

Cllr Rae Frederick, Chair of the Events Committee for Ringwood Town Council and Deputy Town Mayor said: "This is one of the favourite dates in the Ringwood events calendar and this year even coincides with Guy Fawkes night!

"As ever, we work hard to keep our ticket prices as low as possible for the benefit of our local community and want to thank our major sponsor, Fretten’s Solicitors for their support in helping us achieve this.

"We also want to say thank you to the many local charities who help us with events including the Rotary Club of Ringwood, Ringwood and District Roundtable, Men’s Shed and Ringwood Carnival.

"We couldn’t do it without you!”

There will be plenty of food options on-site including Yorkshire pudding wraps, bratwurst, pizza, and sweet treats.

The Roundtable will be running a bar where all profits go to support local charities and activities in the area. Carvers Clubhouse will be offering a special event menu.
