The Riverside Festival on the Embankment is a bit like a large country fair - fairground rides, traction engines, crafts and stalls, food from around the world, boat races.   On the Saturday night however there's also a huge firework display, where you can sit on the river bank and watch the explosions across the water, reflected in the river.

Our third year going to Gordon's New Year bash

The Confucius Chinese Restaurant in Chichester became something of a second home, where we'd meet up after work to chat and drink and eat and then drink some more.    The Chinese New Year celebrations were a good excuse to do that some more, but all night.

Not quite sure of the exact date, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't on or around the 5th November as they (Aurora Fireworks?) used up left-over fireworks to put on a charity display.
