Go to Matlock bath every year and its better every year. The fireworks are spectacular and free. Just pay to see the market and boats. Me and my wife walk up to the temple hotel for the best view of matlock bath and fireworks. However you have to get there very early just to park in matlock bath as it gets choked with traffic and people now its so popular
the switch on could be a good night to go if people want to meet that soon again. robbie williams and alesha dixon going to be there and many more to be confirmed yet, and also 1500 ladies doing a charity walk down the strip. could be some potential there for some good photos. thinking maybe the end of septemeber may not be the best of times to go as its the school holidays (i think), but that may also work in some peoples favour.
also another potential meeting point could be matlock bath illuminations. used to go to this as a child and loved it but havent been in a few years. lots of boats that have been lit up in different themes, from ducks in a bath, to steam trains and the last time i went, there was one in the style of a casino with a james bond theme. they do it at 8pm to get the best light from them and then at about 9.15-9.30, fireworks are set off from the hilltops which lasts for 30min.
heres a link to the website http://www.derbyshireguide.co.uk/travel/matlock-bath.htm the fireworks are only on certain nights and this year they are the 2nd, 16th and 30th october. (2nd im in the dominican and 30th is my birthday)
