Great Lines Heritage Park, Gillingham

This professional display lasts about half an hour but visitors are asked not to bring their own fireworks, sparklers or pets. Medway Council's Howard Doe said: "The Great Lines fireworks display allows people to have not just a fun evening but also a safe one - and it's also free. And once again the Royal Engineers have kindly volunteered to build the big bonfire for us, so we thank them very much for their continued support."

Open: Bonfire lit from 7pm, fireworks from 7.30pm on Saturday, November 5.

Cost: Free.

Address: Entrance to the park via Longhill Avenue, York Avenue, Marlborough Road, Brompton Road, Sally Port Gardens and King's Bastion in Gillingham and Whiffens Avenue, Institute Road, Upbury Way and Lines Terrance in Chatham
