Histon and Impington Fireworks Extravaganza 2013This year's Firework Extravaganza will be held on Saturday 9 November at Impington Village College.
Gates open at 6pm with the fireworks at 7pm. There will be a BBQ and hog roast run by David Robinson with a range of hot drinks, cakes available too. Plus a small fairground to keep young children amused.
Advance tickets are available now from Tucker Gardner, Jane's Frames, the Chop Shop and Station Stores. Advance tickets are cheaper and you'll avoid queues on the night.
We're grateful to our lead sponsor, Tucker Gardner, and the sponsorship and support of Limetree, Precedence, Bellway The Red Lion and Enterprise Hire.
The show is one of the most exciting in the region, and raises money for the three schools in the village, so come along on 9 November and enjoy a local, family-friendly show.

Solutions for independent living If you have problems with everyday tasks, or if you care for someone who does, and want to find out about the advice and support that is available to help you to stay independent, safe and well, NRS Healthcare's mobile demonstration unit provides advice and information about:
- equipment and aids to help with daily living
- assistive technology resources
- adult social care support
- health information available from your library.
NRS is contracted by the County Council to provide the Integrated Community Equipment Service (ICES). Their custom built mobile demonstration and assessment unit will be visiting Shire Hall, Cambridge on Tuesday 12th November from 10am to 4pm, when you will have the opportunity to speak to the fully trained driver who can offer advice as a trusted trained assessor. You will also be able to find out about the information and advice available from the County Council to enable you to stay independent, safe and well.
If you have any unwanted equipment you will also be able to return this by bringing it along and dropping it off at the mobile demonstration unit as part of an 'Equipment Amnesty'.
Anyone interested in finding out about solutions to help with daily living but unable to visit the mobile demonstration unit can also find information by:
