Written by Since I’ve gotten older, fireworks have lost their magic and I think after tonight, I have realised why!
Last week I bought tickets for me and James for King Coels Kittens firework display in Colchester’s Castle Park, and tonight, on a relatively warm November 5th evening, we went along.
We started out with a hot dog (well, James had a hot dog AND a burger) then went and found our chosen place to stand in Upper Castle Park. The park was suprisingly empty at 6:30pm – the gates opened at 6pm. We listened to the local radio dj’s trying to get the crowd involved, culminating in a procession of the guy being led to the bonfire.
After the fire was lit, and there was a bit more the silliness with the DJ’s and then fireworks started.
After years of watching people running about lighting fuses with each firework going off seperately, I wasn’t expecting much. How wrong was I? I didn’t time it but I would imagine there was 20-25 minutes of solid fireworks to a soundtrack of Abba (yay) and Michael Jackson (meh). Not only that, but there were a lot of amazing fireworks in the mix – and I hadn’t seen a lot of them before.
It was an amazing display and I don’t begrudge the £7 per ticket we paid as you would be hard pressed to find a better display! Not only that, the organisers arrange to give a lot of money to different local charities.
