The River of Light event is nearly here and we want to make sure you have the full low down on what’s happening where!
This Bonfire Night, Liverpool and Wirral are once again joining forces to create incredible visual and music displays that are perfect for all ages and even better FREE. One of UK’s most successful firework companies Titanium Fireworks will take the helm, and the skies above the River Mersey will be lit up in a way that has never been seen before at this year’s event.
Pre-show activities will begin at 4pm on both sides of the water, with a host of family fun to keep you entertained in the lead up to the main event when the fireworks start at 6.30pm.
