One of the biggest events in the city’s calender, Ely XT Firework Spectacular, is almost here.

“With the best fireworks display in the area illuminating the skies against the backdrop of Ely Cathedral, the annual date has earned itself the reputation of being the biggest event in Ely’s community calendar, attracting thousands, and also featuring side stalls and family attractions,” say organisers.

Gates open at 5.30pm on Saturday November 12 with the bonfire being set alight at 6.15pm and fireworks let off from 6.45pm.
