Roundhay Park Fireworks and Bonfire on the Soldiers Field - 4th November 2011. Video of the event car park with drivers all attempting to leave at exactly the same time, after the final firework!
Roundhay Park Leeds Firework Display, Bonfire Night Event Parking Information.
Once again this year, tens of thousands of people are expected to gather at Roundhay Park to enjoy Leeds’ biggest bonfire and fireworks event.
Some of us are lucky(?) enough to live close by the park, so can walk to the soldiers field to see the fireworks and bonfire.
The event has parking available on the fields, which fills up towards 7.00, 7-30pm but BE WARNED, getting out of the car park can be a chaotic affair, with some drivers attempting to drive through the barrier netting and up the slopes onto Princes Avenue - not a good idea at any time, but particularly when these grassy slopes are damp and covered in leaves, and trying to leave this way means also driving across the footpath where thousands of other visitors are walking to cars parked further away, bus stops, or just making their way home on foot!
