A public fireworks display will be held at Strathclyde Country Park on Sunday 5 November.
Organised by South and North Lanarkshire Councils, the 30-minute display will start at 6.30 pm with the bonfire lit at 5.30 pm. The Big Feed will have a range of food outlets open from 4.30 pm at the Watersports Centre concourse and the foreshore car park.
“Strathclyde Country Park is a wonderful venue for the firework display and allows residents to enjoy the occasion safely at a professionally run event,” said David Booth, South Lanarkshire Council's Executive Director of Community and Enterprise Resources.
“We encourage residents to follow advice from Police Scotland and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service to ensure everyone celebrates fireworks night safely.
“The event is expected to be very busy and we would advise anyone coming along to arrive early and enjoy the food outlets and the bonfire. If possible, travel by public transport or park further away and walk as there is limited parking in the park itself.”
The beach car park inside the park itself will be closed, however, parking will be available at Hamilton Palace Sports Grounds, Low Parks Museum, the overflow car park at the rear of Aldi in the retail park, and at Keith Street and High Patrick Street.
The usual restrictions and fees will be lifted in these car parks for the evening.
Visitors to the fireworks display can also take advantage of a discounted wristband for M&D’s: Scotland’s Theme Park for £12.95 between 2-9 pm, which can be booked online.
Detailed information about the event is available on North Lanarkshire Council's website
