You don’t need us to tell you to consider your neighbours this bonfire night, you’re all grown ups (and some of you with vulnerable children or pets of your own). But do be safe and sensible, obviously. If you’re looking for an easy, safe and relaxed way to have fun, visit an organised event. There are two close by, one with fireworks and one without.
