Bonfire Night on the beach promises to be a real cracker Refreshment Rooms is among local businesses hosting firework display this year. MAIA NODEN finds out how the restaurant is preparing for the big night, along with other local venues
O
n Friday November 7, venues across the UK are set for a big bang - Bonfire Night celebrations are once again taking place this year as Covid lockdowns ease. Refreshment Rooms in Rock Ferry is hosting a firework display with food and drinks available. The event starts at 7.30pm down on the beach, with their outside bar opening two hours earlier. With many venues having to cancel last year’s Bonfire Night events, this year is an opportunity for businesses and organisations to once again put on a show. Entry to the Refreshment Rooms display is free, and takes place at 2 Bedford Road East, Rock Ferry, CH42 1LS. The long-range forecast for Bonfire Night is mostly cloudy and windy, with a little morning rain followed by wind again with areas of low cloud for the evening. The probability of a thunderstorm is pretty unlikely for
the first Friday of November. On the evening, the restaurant will be serving food on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no need to book - although the restaurant itself is fully booked, there is an outside bar serving food, including burgers, hotdogs, vegan hotdogs and paella. If this isn’t near you, there are some other displays within an hour’s radius of Liverpool.
