Walking
The best, easiest, and most fun way to arrive at Poynton Park for the Bonfire and Fireworks is on foot. Poynton Park is very centrally located and the bonfire night entrance to Poynton Park on South Park Drive close to London Road North. Most places in Poynton are less than 1 mile away, and Five Ways is only just over 1 mile; so enjoy the night, leave the car at home, take in the atmosphere and walk. You could even enjoy one of the many Poynton eating or drinking establishments before or/and after the Bonfire & Fireworks.
