Last chance to see city on fire

TONIGHT is the last chance to see Luminox, a spectacular fire display, in Broad Street, Oxford.

Crowds have packed the street over the past two nights to see the series of fire installations from French arts event company Carabosse, staged with Oxford Inspires.

Oxford artist Ted Dewan has built an 18-metre high bamboo spire from which hangs a fiery pendulum.

He said: "There's a fantastic vibe on Broad Street, and this has been a very rewarding project to be involved in."

Each full swing of the pendulum will count off each of the 1,000 years of Oxfordshire.

The show is one of the opening events for Oxfordshire's Millennium in 2007 festivities The display starts at 7pm.

See www.oxfordshire2007.com for a full programme of events.
