Firework Spectacular Show in Leeds Castle

November 5th is celeberated as Bonfire day, i can call this as UK Diwali?????. The surroundings are very much similar to diwali, ppl bursting crackers......
The sky is lit up with crackers firing up from many places around.......
 
Our actual plan to the Leeds castle was on October 30, we has planned for the trip and we happened to have a look at Leeds castle sight again, which we saw some 2 weeks before we planned, we sighted something that said fireworks spectacular show, suddenly all our heads were up, we were praying, let that be on a weekend, we did some digging on the site to find out the date, Alas......it was on Nov 5th Saturday, we were the happiest, immediately we booked the tickets to the show.....(the site said the tickets are fast selling)..as we did not want to miss it.....
 
We were all set for the next weeks spectacular.........
 
How to Reach Leeds Castle
 
There are trains every half hour from London Victoria station, check out the site http://www.nationalrail.co.uk for details of the train and the fare.
There are also coaches that operate specials for this show from victoria.....but we did not want just a straight ride, we will go by ourselves.....
 
Get the train to Bearsted, the journey is approx 1.01 hours.
Once you reach Bearsted, you need to go to Leeds castle, a notice board in the platform said, there is going to be a bus at 10:30, but we were very early, we started home at 6:45 and reached bearsted station at 9:00 itself, as we had a map of the location, we got it from Google, we all decided to walk, its only 3.3 miles.
 
The morning was very cold, unlike london the country side was wonderful and chilly winds were awesome...
we enjoyed the lovely walk along the winding roads......to reach the Castle..... 
 
Our Trip to the Castle.
 
Only place of interest there is the Leeds castle...... 
The frequency of buses are very low, and as the board said, there seems to be only a bus every 1 hour....so take care and plan your trip, i did not see any Black cabs as well, if you love walking, then this not a deterrent factor.....enjoy walking......
 
We reached the Castle by 10:00 Am only to be heard that the castle is open only from 12:00Pm because of the shows and the Fun fairs, its open from 10 on other days, but do have a look at the site www.leeds-castle.com before you can start....that gives you the exact schedule.....
 
Again we started exploring all the roads, and struggled hard to spend time, at last we pushed the clock to 12:00 and finally got an entry through the castle gates...
Went around the castle, its lovely lakes and parks...took photographs, there were so many people on that day.
 
Finally it was the time for the show, secured a decent place to view the fireworks, also i purchased a Tripod for photographing the fireworks, so set it all and all were ready.
The show began at 6:45 and went on till 7:15.
 
It was really amazing and awesome, really worth for 13£, and returned back home at 11:00Pm.
