What's On
Escape to Freight Island is putting on a huge fireworks display in the city centre for Bonfire Night
Bonfire Night is saved!
Escape to Freight Island are coming to the rescue this bonfire night with an epic fireworks display complete with hog roasts and mulled wine.
Following the council’s dismal announcement regarding the cancellation of all firework and bonfire displays across the city, open-air food hall Escape to Freight Island has confirmed that their own display will still be going ahead.
The massive firework display will be kick starting their Winter Island residency on bonfire night, November 5th, alongside a cosy bonfire gathering. Guests will also be able to indulge in a number of new festive traders and stalls, including a bratwurst grill, traditional hog roast, a mulled wine and hot cider hut, local chocolatiers and artisanal cheese stalls.

And that doesn’t even scratch the surface – the team over at Freight Island also have a huge programme of festive events booked over the next couple of months as a part of the Winter Island such as Christmas workshops, karaoke, family raves, cabaret, live music, comedy and festive movie nights.
The iconic Untold Orchestra will also be performing every Wednesday throughout November and December, where they will be paying homage to beloved musicians and bands each week (as well as those famed festive numbers too).
Further entertainment to look forward to throughout the festive season at Winter Island includes performances from the likes of Fun DMC, Teachrex, Playhouse Project, Famzily Gorgeous, Guilty Pleasures and Born to be Wild Child.
