THE popular fireworks display at Sixways Stadium will return this year - despite the financial trouble at Worcester Warriors.
There had been a question mark over whether the sell-out show would return after Worcester Warriors fell into administration.
However, organisers announced the display will return on Friday, November 4 with attendees able to watch the display from the East Stand.
The gates are set to open at 5.30pm, with fairground rides and refreshments available to purchase.
Tickets for adults are £9 and children's tickets are £5 and are available to book over the phone.

People were worried the display would not return after Warriors were put into administration on Monday, September 26 causing them to be suspended from all competitions.
RFU bosses wanted evidence of a “credible plan to take the club forward,” but said they had received no response.
Worcester’s debts total more than £25million, including at least £6m in unpaid tax.
Begbies Traynor was appointed by DCMS as administrators to oversee WRFC Trading Limited, the company which Worcester Warriors is under.
The company, which specialises in corporate recovery and restructuring, put Julie Palmer, Julian Pitts and Andrew Hook to handle the proceedings.
The administrators are hoping to see rugby return next season, with a number of interested parties focused on acquiring the club.
A statement from the administrators reads:"We are pleased to confirm that discussions are continuing with a number of interested parties who remain focussed on acquiring Worcester Warriors with a view to re-establishing rugby at The Sixways stadium and developing the first-rate facilities and land around it to support rugby operations.
"We are not yet at a stage to be able to enter into any preferred bidder agreement but expect to continue discussions around this with a view to achieving a sale in the timescale needed for a squad to be built by a purchaser in good time for next season."
The club's former owners of Worcester Warriors have been fined in court for failing to file accounts and reports with the registrar.
Jason Whittingham, 51, and Colin Goldring, 38, failed to deliver a copy of Worcester Sport Limited's accounts for the financial year ending February 28 2021 to the Registrar of Companies at Companies House in Cardiff, on November 30 2021.
The pair, whose addresses were recorded as Sixways, were also disqualified from being directors for 12 months.
