This year's bonfire and fireworks show at Walsall Arboretum will only be available to people who book tickets in advance due to a 'bottleneck' of people at the 2016 event.

The extravaganza will take place on Sunday, November 5, based in the Arboretum extension.

Providing entertainment on the night will be X Factor's Reggie 'n' Bollie and Naked Choir winners Sons of Pitches.

It will start at 4.30pm with a Free Radio stage kicking off at 5pm, the bonfire lit at 6pm and the fireworks starting at 7.30pm.

Walsall Councillor Chris Jones, Portfolio Holder for Clean and Green said: "There was quite a bottleneck last year as so many people turned up on the night without tickets. This year, the event is only open to advance ticket holders and this will mean that people are able to get into the event much more quickly.

“We’re expecting this to be a very popular event, so please get your tickets early to avoid disappointment.”

Tickets cost £7 for adults, £3 for children while under 5s get in free. Car parking costs £2.

They can be purchased at www.ticketsource.co.uk/walsallarboretumor by visiting the Arboretum visitor centre of the Walsall Town Hall box office.
