Take That to rock Fireworks 2011

TAKE That and Doctor Who will provide the soundtrack to the biggest free choreographed fireworks display in the Northwest, as The Trafford Centre lights up the sky this November 6th.

Sunday 6th November – Fireworks Spectacular from 5.00pm

The fun starts on The Orient Main Stage from 5pm with LEGOLAND Discovery Centre presenting competitions, fireworks safety demonstrations, special guests and much more - before the massive firework spectacular at 6:30pm outside The Great Hall.

Last year more than 5000 eager spectators watched the show - before retiring into The Great Hall and The Orient for something warm to eat and drink.

They watched a carefully choreographed display in which thousands of fireworks were detonated in time to a rousing soundtrack, which this year features Take That, and the theme from Doctor Who.
