Hull St Andrew's Dock: Fireworks on Lord Line building Hull's fishing families are uniting for a 17-minute firework display on the roof of the Lord Line building, St Andrew's Dock, on Saturday (November 1), with a bonfire and fair rides nearby. It is a tribute to the old docks and the trawlermen lost. Organised by Hull and District RAOB, the fireworks display, bonfire and fair will be held on Saturday from 6pm. Entry costs £1 on the night. The bonfire will be lit at 6.30pm and the fireworks will go up from the roof of the Lord Line building an hour later. All money raised will go to fund memorial plaques for lost trawlermen.Bonfire Night on Beverley Westwood
Beverley Westwood will hold its popular annual Bonfire Night fireworks display on Wednesday, November 5.
Organised by the Beverley Lions Club, the event relies on public donations. Last year, the fireworks cost upwards of £5,000, much of which was covered by the club's charity fund. Although the event itself is free, there will be a bucket collection on the Westwood and visitors are encouraged to donate as much as they can.
The mayor will light the bonfire at 7.15pm and the fireworks display will begin at 7.45pm. People are asked not to bring their own fireworks.
The club has also appealed for volunteers to help with the clean-up operation the following day (Thursday, November 6). Anyone planning on turning up should arrive after 9am.
Fireworks and bonfire event at Swanland
A group focused on improving the community through charity events and donations is gearing up for its annual Bonfire Night event. Hull Wyke Round Table is planning fireworks and a bonfire at Humberdale Farm in Swanland on Wednesday, November 5, for the 37th year.
The event has raised thousands of pounds for charity in the past, including an £8,000 donation to the Smile Foundation for its latest project, Smile by the Sea. Smile by the Sea provides short UK breaks for people from Hull and East Yorkshire who are supported by a local registered charity, offering respite to families in difficult circumstances.
Hull Wyke Round Table members hope this year's event will continue to be a great success and attract as many people as possible, enabling the group to continue supporting local charities. Andy Dearman, of the group, said: "It's a great night out for all of the family.
"Each year it gets bigger and better and we're sure this year will have record numbers to enjoy the spectacular firework display."
The free event starts at 6pm and will include a traditional steam organ, refreshments such as a hog roast, mulled wine, burgers and hot dogs, and bygone era family games with prizes to be won.
Fire walk for Jason Netherton's testimonial

The walk will be in aid of Netherton's testimonial and local charity, Life for a Kid.
