| Pumpkins by Family and Friends and Bolton Abbey 2019.... |
To the pounding, anthemic sound of rock group Queen, this year’s Bolton Abbey Bonfire and Fireworks may have been the best yet. We’ve been attending since the first year in 2015: the James Bond Themed Music set a very high bar; in 2016 the Best of British went a bit wrong (probably because of the result of the 2016 EU referendum….the universe was taunting me…); in 2017 it was Music from the Movies – a match for the first year; 2018 had problems with strong winds and the Musicals accompaniment didn’t always match the display. 2019, however, was a Top Year – the music of Queen, a superb firework display, a much better layout of the stalls and facilities – and a perfect night for pagan customs. It’s a fantastic treat and a great way to herald the approach to Christmas and Winter….
