Hexham Round Table
Annual Charity Bonfire & Fireworks
7th November 2009
The Sele (see map below)
Fire lit at 6:30pm  Fireworks at 7:00pm

It all started by Tablers wanting to 'give something back' to the people of Hexham...
There are one or two tales of Tablers with blackened faces and singed eyebrows!
Now, given the size and amount of fireworks used, Kimbolton (the firework suppliers and the only remaining British fireworks manufacturer) arrange and ignite the rockets, mortars and candles.

Food and refreshment stalls on the Sele will be manned by a local Muscular Dystrophy support group and Tynedale Hospice at Home.

Please only buy glow-bands, burgers etc. from authorised stalls only on the Sele.
These will be manned by volunteers with Round Table vests and ALL profits go to local worthy causes.

There will be NO charitable vendors OUTSIDE the Sele.

The Sunshine Panners of Haydon Bridge will be playing in the Park Bandstand before and after the fireworks. Also 'A Batida de Rua' samba drummers from the Queen Elizabeth High School are playing on the Sele beforehand.

Stanegate Flyers will provide a night flight kite display before the fireworks

Please leave sparklers at home.. They can be dangerous and are difficult to clear up the next day.

Programme of events:
This year the spectacular event will take place on the Sele on Saturday November 7th. The bonfire will be lit at around 6.30 p.m. and the fireworks start at 7p.m. (timings dependent on the weather).
We recommend that you aim to arrive early as it can take some time to park and to get on to the Sele. 

To prevent congestion overflow car parking will be available at Hexham Auction Mart and Tyne Green. Please arrive early to avoid disappointment and park with consideration to others.
