00:09 with tradition and doing a bonfire and fireworks special to highlight the biggest and best

00:13 places in Lancashire. You can go and watch an organised display. So, instead of 5 things

00:18 to do it's more like 15 but please be warned that this has been filmed well in advance

00:22 without a clue what the weather's going to do so please if you fancy going along to one

00:26 of these events please double check with the organiser nearer the time to see if everything's
