"Fireworks Fantasia 2003" Birmingham Travelogue by J_P_B


Birmingham Travel Guide: 892 reviews and 1,197 photos

"Fireworks Fantasia" happens every year in Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham. This year, the weather was fantastic and a crowd of 25,000 people turned out to watch the show. There are show tunes and the CBSO plays some classical favourites and then come the fireworks, all set off to a selection of John Williams' film music. It's fantastic and well worth the money (£4.00 for an advance ticket). I went with my family, including my aunt and uncle who had flown in from Switzerland that day. We ate a picnic and drank perhaps a little too much, but hey, we were having fun. :)

    Great to see someone else enjoys this restaurant as its one of my favourites. I also go and make sure I use my Gourmet Society card as I get 25% off the entire bill - http://www.thegourmetsociety.co.uk

    I totally agree about your comments on Sylhet Spice in Kings Heath! Wonderful food, and great service.... I've recommended it to everyone I meet. Great page - maybe mine will be as good one day!
