Daventry shines bright at annual fireworks spectacular

The evening featured a dazzling display of fireworks expertly orchestrated by MLE Pyrotechnics - Daventry's very own international award-winning fireworks company.

This year's production was set to an extra special soundtrack of music and radio soundbites spanning the last century, in celebration of Daventry Museum's recognition of the BBC's 100 years of BBC broadcasting – a milestone in which Daventry played a truly pivotal role.

The event was hailed as a huge success by both visitors and Town Councillors, who praised the display's quality and community spirit.

Gates opened at 6pm, allowing visitors to enjoy a variety of delicious food and drink from local traders before the main event.

Guests indulged in a tempting selection of German sausages, noodles, hog roast, burgers, jacket potatoes, hot doughnuts, crepes, bubble waffles, candy floss, retro sweets, cakes, and a range of hot drinks to keep warm on the crisp autumn evening.

Traders had a successful night of trading and were delighted to welcome both new and returning customers.

Cllr. Katie Thurston, Mayor of Daventry, who attended the event, said: "Daventry's Fireworks Display is a brilliant event that is excitedly anticipated by families and residents each year. This year's display was brilliant and so well attended, making for a warm atmosphere in this autumnal season. Well done to DTC for delivering another superb free, family-friendly event that brings our community together. Thank you to The Parker E-ACT Academy for letting us use their facilities to showcase such a fantastic show of pyrotechnics and entertainment."
