Rutland Lions have shared spoof banners after being asked to remove their physical banners last year.

On Saturday the 5th of November 2022, Rutland Lions will hold their annual Fireworks Display at The Rutland Showground. As usual there will be two displays, the first quieter one for children, the second a little louder, filling the skies with a seasonal spectacle.

Gates will open at 4.45pm and there will be free rides for children, with the rugby club bar catering for the bigger kids. Hoggy's Grill, local BBQ business run by cricket legend Matthew Hoggard, will also be in attendance providing the usual burgers and hotdogs.

Tickets are now available online via the Rutland Lions Facebook page with significant savings to be made for those booking in advance or for family groups. Available are single tickets and tickets for families of two, four and five, tickets on the night via cash or card will be £10 for everyone over five years of age.

The firework display is Rutland Lions main annual fundraiser, and this year a good proportion of the proceeds will go toward three main causes:

  • Rutland Foodbank
  • Helping provide respite activities for young carers in Rutland
  • Continuing to support Rainbows Children's Hospice in Loughborough.

Disabled parking only will be available at the Showground, other public parking will be available at Lands' End car park on Lands' End Way.

The team added: "If you're uncertain as to whether you can attend on the night, buying tickets online now will act as a donation toward the three very worthy causes, and if you can make, even better. It's a win/win!"
