The countdown to an annual fireworks display at an Ipswich park has begun. 

Christchurch Park has announced this year's event will take place on Saturday, November 2 and has shared details of what crowds can expect. 

The long-standing display will return with new special effects choreographed to a mix of well-known tracks in a display put together by award-winning Alchemy Fireworks. 

There will also be a bonfire, LED stilt-walkers, fire performances, DiggerWorld and other family-friendly attractions.

Three live music stages will host local talent from the region - including One-Drum African drummers and Ipswich-based duo Painting the Silence. 

A spokesman for the event, which is organised by volunteers from the 11th Ipswich Scout Group, said: "Experience a mesmerising musical fireworks display that comes with live entertainment, locally sourced street food stalls, a bar, a fairground and a children's funfair."

The event will run from 6pm until 10pm with the fireworks display scheduled for 8pm.

Entry will cost £10.49 per adult and £8.49 per child - with children under five years old given free admission.
