PYROTECHNICS costing £7,000 will light up the sky above Malvern at the fireworks spectacular on Saturday, November 2, at the Three Counties Showground.

Masterminded by Bromyard-based Dragonfire Ltd, which created displays for the launch of the Welsh National Assembly and the European Summit, the extravaganza includes 5,500 firework effects.

Shells rising up to 1,500ft, roman candles, bombettes, batteries and mines - all are choreographed through Dragonfire's computerised firing system to top hits by everyone from Elvis Presley to Kylie Minogue.

There will also be a fun-fair with bumper cars, an indoor playland and stomach-churning rides.

Gates open at 5pm and the display is at 8pm. Admission is £4 or £14 for a family (two adults, two children).
