An eco-friendly firework event is returning to the historic Tide Mill in Woodbridge to celebrate Bonfire Night.
There will be a selection of artists taking part along with a light art show during the Fish Friendly Fireworks festival on Saturday, November 5, from 6pm to 8pm.
The free event, which is a part of the Winter Light Festival and Woodbridge Festival of Art and Music, offers an eco-friendly alternative to regular fireworks, encourages creativity in the community and raises money for cultural education.
The night will feature music by Ben Osborne and guests, with visuals prepared by Jim Horsfield.
The organisers say that they take environmental responsibilities “seriously” by not using generators, operating a leave-no-trace policy, encouraging train travel for artists and audiences, and hosting a dedicated EcoZone as well as educational activities at the venue.
Artists of all ages have been invited to submit artworks that will be projected onto Woodbridge’s iconic landmark.
The competition involves local schools, Woodbridge Arts Club and features pop-up workshops by Alice Stallard.
Ms Stallard said: “We’re delighted to receive funding from Arts Council England and East Suffolk Council, so that we can continue our work with participatory art and culture in the local area.”
