Bonfire Night will be celebrated with displays around the island.

Peel fireworks will be set off from the breakwater tomorrow (Wednesday) at 7pm, after commissioners chairman Ray Harmer has lit the bonfire.

Half an hour later, Port Erin and Ramsey’s fireworks displays both take place at 7.30pm.

Port Erin’s display will be over the bay while Ramsey’s will be from the Mooragh lake’s island.

Celebrations in Douglas take place on Friday.

The event starts at 7pm with a Best Guy contest. Take entries to the staged area at the War Memorial between 6.30pm and 7pm.

The bonfire will be lit at 7.15pm followed by a fireworks display at 7.30pm.

Anyone lighting a bonfire is urged by Dolittles to watch out for hedgehogs.

Sandy Huyton said: ‘Earlier warmer autumn temperatures could have resulted in second litter hoglets being born and with the colder weather now approaching hedgehogs will be searching for the perfect nesting areas for hibernation and hedgehogs will find bonfires very inviting.

‘We would advise you use a long pole and check to the centre from all sides before lighting and preferably on the night. Hedgehogs are in decline and ecologists say in the UK they could be extinct by 2025.’
