Wigan Council's evening bonfire-season party in the woodland park, with family entertainment, a funfair and food stalls before a firework display at about 6.40pm. It's an early finish, closing at 7pm, so it works well for younger children as well as older ones. Wrap up warm; there's a covered VIP marquee as an add-on, and parking is at the park's usual rates.
