What a great night we had on 5th November, courtesy of The Exeter Daily. I just can't believe how much money must have been spent on the fireworks, the pictures on this site are great but don't do the event full justice. The display went on for ages and the fireworks were spectacular from start to finish, towards the end it was mind-blowing with lots all being set off at the same time and merging together in the cold night sky. Great that it was a clear night, even though very cold.
Thank you Round Table, well worth a visit and I will be coming again next year !

The Council is hosting a mixture of information events and stalls in a bid to encourage more people to consider becoming foster families and give those interested the chance to find out whether fostering would be suitable for them.
