Preparations for Perth’s charity Guy Fawkes’ night bonfire are almost complete.
The volunteers from Perth Strathearn 200 Round Table have announced the timings for the evening’s entertainment.
At the request of main sponsors, Perth Common Good Fund, the organisers have made significant efforts to control costs but have confirmed there will still be a spectacular fireworks display.
Tay FM’s John Milne will welcome everyone to the South Inch at 6pm and start the music, while other attractions will include the Last Orders Band from 6.25pm and a funfair in the car park.
The bonfire will be lit at 7pm and the fireworks will start no earlier than 7.20pm, with the Round Table advising people to arrive as early as possible.
The music and sideshows will continue, with the event closing by 9pm. Bucket-shaking volunteers will welcome the crowds, grateful for donations to good causes.
Round Table chairman Graham Powrie welcomed the common good fund grant, saying: ”It will allow us to provide the people of Perth with a spectacular pyro-musical fireworks display based around A Night at the Movies theme that will appeal to all age ranges.
”Similar pyro-musical shows by 21ccfireworks have received rave reviews in other locations and I’m sure it will be a great night.”
