Now incredibly in its 52nd year, the Stray Bonfire and Fireworks Display is free to attend, is run by volunteers from Harrogate Roundtable and is funded entirely by donations from the public and sponsorship from local companies.

Unlike last year when there were doubts it would happen amid fears over costs, this year's event is all ready to go.
