One of County Durham's most popular venues is holding a fireworks night.

Hardwick Hall Hotel's historic country park will host a "fireworks extravaganza" on November 5, welcoming visitors of all ages.

The event will feature a fireworks display, a giant bonfire, street food vans, and fairground rides.

An earlier fireworks extravaganza event, on November 3, has already sold out, and Tim Boyd, general manager at Hardwick Hall, said tickets are "flying out" for the November 5 date.

"I really would urge anyone who hasn't yet booked to do so," Mr Boyd said.

"We really are pulling out all the stops with a dazzling display and a traditional Guy Fawkes bonfire in the stunning grounds of the hotel."

Tickets are limited to two types: general admission, which provides standing room only, and a VIP bench show ticket.

The latter is suitable for groups of up to six people, including children., allowing attendees to enjoy the fireworks from a VIP bench on the lower lawn, with two car park passes included.

Ticket holders are the only ones who will be granted entry, and their barcodes will be scanned on arrival.

Gates will open at 5pm, with the event expected to conclude around 8.30pm.

General admission tickets cost £6.50 each, with children under five going free. A £3 parking ticket is also required to park at the site, which must be purchased in advance.

VIP benches cost £75 and include two free parking passes.

Rides and street food are not included in the ticket price.

Bookings can be made via the website at hardwickhall.co.uk and must be bought in advance as there will be no availability on the night.
