The bonfire chair, Tom Shearer, said: "This year is my second year as bonfire chair, and as with all bonfire events we try to make them better than the last, in terms of both entertainment and safety for the crowd.

"You’ll need to come and see for yourself how we’ve changed it this year, but having seen the virtual display I can say for sure it’ll be very different to last year. "

The event raises funds available for local charities in and around Kenilworth and last year raised around £30,000.

Kenilworth Round Table is open to guys 18-45 years old if they want to join one of the social activities or help out at the charity events.
