Fireworks are back with a bang!

Thanks to everyone who attended the Luton’s FREE annual fireworks spectacular event last Saturday 6 November. We were so pleased to return to Popes Meadow for this Luton-wide tradition. The fireworks display is one Luton’s most well attended events, bringing diverse communities together to enjoy the stunning entertainment in the sky.
