Final preparations underway for fireworks at Kenilworth Castle
The display, organised by Kenilworth Round Table, will be held on Saturday November 3.
Ian Grigg of Kenilworth Round Table said: “Preparations are going well - we’re just putting the final touches in place. And the ticket sales have been going very well.”

Castle Hill, Castle Road and Castle Green will be fully closed to cars from 4.30 to 9pm, while Clinton Lane, High Street and Elizabeth Way will be access-only.
Fantastic Fireworks will be orchestrating the show once again this year. The display will be set to music and against the backdrop of the illuminated castle.

A park-and-ride service will be in operation from War Memorial Park in Coventry to take visitors to and from the bus stops in Abbey End.
Buses will run every few minutes from 4.40pm up to 5.55pm, and the return journeys will start from 7.45pm with the last bus at 9pm. The journey costs £1.50 per person each way.
Kenilworth Round Table has encouraged those living close by to walk if they can, but advised anyone driving to allow plenty of time for their journey and to park considerately.
