This year the public event falls on November 5th and the bonfire will be lit in the Castle Grounds at 6-30 p.m.
As in past years, the event is organised as a combined effort between the Rotary Clubs of Clitheroe, Ribblesdale and Pendle View, together with Clitheroe Lions Club and Clitheroe Round Table. They also have continuing support and co-operation from the Police, Fire Brigade and St John’s Ambulance.
