As dusk comes in the procession is warming up at the start and at 6p.m. goes through the town taking around two hours to pass any point on the route, the procession attracts around 100 entries consisting of the main entries, many 30 metres in length with thousands of lights and walking entries see our website for more information. Grandstand seats available.
 
Following the procession around 10p.m. we finish the night with our Squibbing Displayin the High Street when around 200 squibbers line the street each with a special squib on a cosh, when the signal horn sounds all 200 light their squib and raise the squibs above their head.
