Council chiefs have revealed parking arrangements for the Bitts Park fireshow in Carlisle.

All of the city council car parks will be free after 6pm for the event on November 5.

Bitts Park, the Sheepmount and Dacre Road will be closed to vehicles and the Devonshire Walk skate park will be closed from lunchtime on that day.

People are advised to park at one of the city centre car parks.

Carlisle's industrial and railway heritage will be at the burning heart of the celebrations.

It will be an evening of trainspotting with a difference as a 35ft replica of a steam engine is torched as part of the theme "steam, smoke and sparks".

The centrepiece of the bonfire will be a replica of an 1850s locomotive engine, complete with moving wheels.

The event is the 29th fireshow staged by Carlisle City Council.

Pre-entertainment will start at 6.45pm and the bonfire lit at 7pm.

A fairground will be open from 5.30pm on Devonshire Walk car park.

Admission is free. A charity collection will be held with all donations going towards the Rotary Club of Carlisle South and the Mayor’s Charity Fund.

Volunteers will be holding charity buckets at the entrance to the event.

Organisers are asking the fireshow’s adult spectators to consider giving £1 each.

More than 35,000 people are expected to attend the event, organised together with Merlin Fireworks Ltd.

A Fireshow Funday will also be held in the city centre between 2pm and 5.30pm.

Carlisle Fireshow is a family event and no alcohol will be permitted on site or within the fairground in Devonshire Walk car park.
