One of the County's biggest firework displays and a night taxy run with Avro Lancaster NX611 at 7.00pm.
Feel the atmosphere of a WW2 airfield at night. This year’s fireworks will see the culmination of many years’ experience here at the Centre giving us
the best display we have ever had. Not only will you be able to see the fireworks you will also be able to feel their power as they explode and cascade in the skies over this very historic location.
This is possibly our best value event as you can join us for 11 hours experiencing the Lancaster taxy runs at day and night, enjoy a hog roast, play with glow sticks, watch a WW2 German Searchlight and most importantly build memories for years to come with the biggest firework display at the Centre.

Halo Smart Protect is a unique treatment system developed and supplied by All Year Biker.
We all know winter road salt is a killer for bikes, but here are a few things you might not be aware of:During the rest of the year environmental fall-out, sea spray and even animal waste can causecorrosion.
In certain conditions animal waste on the roads can be up to 3 times more corrosive than road salt.Washing alone will not prevent corrosion, in fact trapped cleaning water can often start the process.
Corrosion rarely ‘starts’ where you can see it but once established it can spread alarmingly fast.
There is now a Lincolnshire based Operative, so you can have your bike treated without having to travelmiles. Trevor Bridgwood (Riders Branch Member) is based just outside Lincoln and covers LN, DN andsome NG postcodes. If you are interested in getting your bike protected, then give me a call.
