With the 5th of November looming, celebrations to mark the occasion of Guy Fawkes failed gunpowder plot will be plentiful in the Grimsby and Cleethorpes area over the weekend.
If you have a newborn it might be the last thing on your mind. Apart from worrying if the noise will disturb them, if you have older children you will more than likely either be holding your own bonfire party or considering attending a local one for their benefit. For small children and newborns, if you do take them along anywhere, consider purchasing ear defenders as we all know it can get incredibly noisy as people set off their fireworks, and make sure all children (and you) are wrapped up warm, there is nothing worse than standing outside in the cold, shivering and wishing you’d brought that extra scarf along!
If purchasing sparklers for your children, make sure they only handle them while wearing gloves, hold them at arms length and dispose of them properly when they’ve had their fun (this goes for adults too, especially those who have had a few drinks to mark the occasion!)
Pets owners please make sure you keep them inside over the weekend. most arranged displays are taking place on Friday , Saturday and Sunday but it might be wise to keep them in after the weekend too, as private fireworks parties may go ahead for a few days after.
Most importantly, stay safe and have fun! Here is a list of organised displays taking place over the weekend!

Whether you decide to attend an event, hold your own or watch other people’s displays from the comfort of your own home, we hope you have a wonderful time, stay safe and be mindful of others – not everyone enjoys bonfire night! And of course, as I’m a photographer I also say, make sure you take plenty of pictures!
But if you are a very new mum and unable to get to these family events this year, don’t worry. If you live in or around Swindown, take a look at this!
My friend Selina who is a superb newborn photographer in Swindon over at Mini Moo Studios has a fab blog about the great things you can do instead!!
