    Apart from probably the rip off in Locke Park.

    Anyone know of any decent places to go in Barnsley family friendly for the above?

    Been to Thorne Park bonfire at Wakefield for past couple of years. Pretty impressive display.

    It's Fee and they have fun fare and entertainment laid on.

    The event starts at 6pm.
    The childrens show will start at 7.30pm with the main display kicking off at 8pm on Saturday.

    I think last year they charged about £5.00 just to get in. A bit much when most local authorities put one on for nowt.
    If there are 5 or 6 its a dear do for a bonfire.

    Its 3 or 4 quid this year

    Don't have a problem paying a nominal amount like that, they'd only put the Council tax up otherwise.

    I think it's fair to say they'll put the council tax up

    whatever we pay for the fire work display

    Ours was free.

    Free parking, nowt to get in. Charity buckets dotted around. Money made from a fantastic food set-up. &pound;1.50 a ticket, which bought you either pie &amp; peas, a burger, a hot-dog or a baked tattie with curry or chilli. They couldn't serve 'em quick enough.
