FLEET LIONS FIREWORK FIESTA
SAT 4 NOVEMBER 2023
Calthorpe Park GU51 4AD
6500 of you came and joined us for a great night out
These were our plans:
The weather might not be looking anything special at the moment but it won't stop the Lions fireworks team putting on an incredible display. Come and enjoy our fabulous fireworks display. At the Lions marquee you can buy burgers and hotdogs, get fibre optic and LED toys for the kiddies and the grown ups can sample our tasty Lions Glühwein (mulled wine).
This year your local Fleet organisations and businesses will also provide food and drink:
- Our friends at Fleet Phoenix are serving hot and cold drinks
- The Hot Oven Bakers Corner will serve samosas, pasties and sausage rolls
- Returning again the 29th Odiham Scouts will be providing camp fire sweet treats - S'Mores n'More - including toasted s'mores, candy floss, popcorn, sweet cones and cinder toffee.
- Muncheon Luncheon will serve chicken and pulled pork
Caleb's coffee will be open as usual at the old pavilion for coffee and hot drinks.
