A striking new laser show will feature at York’s biggest bonfire and firework display at Rawcliffe Country Park on Saturday 4 November. The event and the laser show have been sponsored by York’s Ultra Fibre Optic from TalkTalk. Organised by the North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, in aid of The Fire Fighters charity, it aims to provide bonfire night fun in a safe environment for the whole family. A large bonfire that will be lit throughout the evening and there will be a professionally organised firework display, the laser show, food stalls, bars, live music and a funfair. The event is the largest Fire Fighters Charity event in North Yorkshire and is expected to draw the biggest ever crowd since it started four years ago. Richard Sinclair, TalkTalk General Manager for York’s Ultra Fibre Optic commented: “We are really proud to be supporting such a great community event bringing together the residents of Rawcliffe and the rest of York and we are really looking forward to the evening, especially the laser show! We’re committed to investing in York as we bring the UK’s fastest and most reliable Ultra Fibre Optic broadband to homes and businesses; helping to transform York into a digital city. With many residents already connected in the Rawcliffe area, we’re delighted to be sponsoring the event especially as it’s in aid of such a worthy cause.” Bruce Reid MBE, Watch Manager at Harrogate Fire Station, said: “Building on the success of the last four years, we wanted to make this year’s extravaganza even bigger and better. The support of TalkTalk means we have been able to put on a larger professional pyrotechnic display and include a laser show! Last year, around 5,000 people attended raising more than £14,000 for The Fire Fighters charity. We are expecting to exceed these numbers this year. We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable bonfire night and are encouraging people to come along and join in the fun.” York’s Ultra Fibre Optic is a brand new, next generation full fibre network with speeds of 1000Mb. It’s the future of internet connectivity globally and York is the first place in the UK to develop a city-wide network.
