7: How do I get there?
A: You can get to Notton Village by car or on foot if you live locally.
PLEASE PLAN YOUR JOURNEY! We always advise anyone travelling by car to arrive early and allow plenty of time to park and get into the event. Anyone with expectations of travelling to arrive at 7pm and walking straight into the event will be disappointed!
8: Is there anywhere to park?
A: Notton is a small village and we're sure you can appreciate that it has a limited capacity for being able to cope with the thousands of guests we have attending the event each year who choose to travel by car. A limited amount of parking is available in the centre of Notton itself.
However, we would ask that anyone parking their cars in the village be considerate to other road users and local residents when doing so. Parking Marshalls will be stationed around the Village and the Green, and we ask for everyone's cooperation in ensuring that residents are able still able to access their properties, park outside, so that bus routes and emergency services can be maintained throughout the village.
9: Can I bring my own food & drink?
A: We offer a wide range of food and drink at a discounted rate which is on sale both in the village hall and the Sports and Social Pavilion next to the field on the night. We therefore ask anyone attending the event to refrain from bringing any of their own food & drink. However, if you are considering enjoying some of our pie & peas or hot dogs on the night we would strongly urge you to purchase them as soon as possible because they sell out fast and the village hall where they are served gets incredibly busy as the evening progresses.
10: Why can't there be more food and drink stalls outside? It may be hard to get food and drink on the night.
A: We have looked at many options over the years to find ways in which we can increase the capacity for providing more catering. Because of the limited size of our facilities we are unable to increase them within the village hall. Much of the field where the main event takes place is occupied by our main attractions- The Bonfire & Firework Display, plus we want as many people as possible to be able to fit in the field and enjoy the event- therefore we are unfortunately unable to fit any additional catering wagons or facilities into the field.
11: How can I pay for food and drink in the Village Hall?
A: We do have facilities to take card payments in the Village Hall and at the Sports and Social Pavilion where alcoholic drinks are served. However, if you plan on visiting the funfair stalls and rides they may not have card facilities so do bring plenty of cash to avoid disappointment.
Notton Village Post Office does have the facility to withdraw cash, but this closes early on the day of the event and so it is better to ensure you have sufficient cash before you travel.
12: Why does the village hall catering stop when the firework display is on?
A: Our whole event is staffed entirely by volunteers who give up a considerable amount of time in the run up to the event and on the day itself to ensure Notton Bonfire & Firework Display is a huge success and raises a huge amount of money for worthy causes in the process. Therefore, we hope you will understand and respect that in return for their efforts, being allowed to watch the main event is only thanks we can offer to the hard-working team of caterers in the village hall.
13: What's the firework display like? Is it suitable for young children?
A: Notton prides itself on its firework display being one of the brightest and best displays in the area & unfortunately that can't happen without any noise! The display itself lasts for just over 16 minutes & this year for the first time will be set to a vibrant musical soundtrack. This professionally produced show promises a breathtaking fusion of light and sound but will undoubtably also contain a lot of noise and bangs, some of them very loud, so this is not a display for those who are sensitive to a bit of noise!
14: I'm a stallholder & I have souvenirs/food/trinkets to sell that would make a great addition to your event. Do you allow independent stallholders to sell at your event?
A: All our stallholders and ride operators have to be thoroughly checked and verified for health and safety considerations prior to the event, so we do not permit independent store holders on the night.
As we have also mentioned above, we do not have additional capacity within the field where the main event takes place to be able to accommodate any additional stalls or vehicles.
15: What about safety? Is the event safe?
A: Naturally in an event this large with both a bonfire and firework display there are considerable risks. However, the organising committee and planners for the event take great pride in ensuring each year it passes without incident. Along with St Johns Ambulance & Local Police who are in attendance, there are also an army of volunteers who act as fire line marshals, car park attendants and firework display marshals on the night. The event is also cleared & inspected by the local fire authority. While we can never 100% guarantee everyone's safety, every effort has been made to make sure every year passes off with the minimum number of incidents.
