A public fireworks display will be held at Strathclyde Country Park on Sunday 5 November.
Organised by North and South Lanarkshire Councils, the 30-minute display will start at 6.30pm with the bonfire lit at 5.30pm. The Big Feed will have a range of food outlets open from 4.30pm 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 Andrew McPherson, Depute Chief Executive.
“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 within the park itself.”
Parking will be available at Hamilton Palace Sports Grounds, Low Parks Museum, South Lanarkshire Council’s overflow car park at the rear of Aldi, and at Keith Street and High Patrick Street. The usual restrictions and fees will be lifted in these car parks for the evening. The beach car park in the park will be closed.
M&D’s Scotland’s Theme Park, which includes Cosmic Bowl 10-Pin Bowling, Amazonia, a temperature controlled tropical house, Devil’s Island Adventure Golf and Game Zone, will be open from 10am until 10pm, alongside Monterey Jack’s American-themed diner and the Alona Hotel.
Visitors to the fireworks display can also take advantage of a discounted wristband for £12.95 between 2pm and 9pm, which can be booked online at www.scotlandsthemepark.co.uk.
