Now don’t forget the sparklers (check if they are allowed at public events). Top tip – get the kids to wear gloves or even poke the sparkler into a carrot to make it feel even saver.
DISCLAIMER – I have put this information together from various sources and internet searches. Please double check timings and event details in case I have got anything wrong, I don’t want you to be disappointed.
I know not everyone likes fireworks – especially pets. Here are some guidelines on how to prepare your dog for fireworks night that we will be trying out and also a guide to common signs of stress in all sorts of situations and how to help your dog.
Enjoy this year’s fireworks evening wherever you are. Don’t forget to stay safe and if you are planning your own party then take a look at the guidelines form the Firework safety organisation.

Ottery St Mary Tar Barrels

Watch the world famous tradition of Ottery St Mary’s flaming Tar Barrels. With tons to do throughout the day, watch the firing of the rock cannons, the lighting of the giant bonfire, enjoy the funfair and eat from a great variety of food vendors.
