Anyone know of any particularly good fireworks displays around West Cambridgeshire?

New to area so wondering on off chance if anyone has any ideas.

Would be nice to have some interesting backdrops etc as I'll be taking my camera!
And that's the main reason I'm going!

Kimbolton?

I've heard Kimbolton is fairly good.
Someone pointed out Ely and I think based on this photo it will be my choice

Cambridge is better than Ely, but neither are in West Cambridgshire. Kim is, which is why I suggested it. The OP probably needs to be a bit more specific over area.

By way Cambridgeshire I mean from West of Cambridge to the border (I'm very close Kimbolton)

Then Kim is probably the best which is near you. Many of the larger villages will have a display, but the Kim one will be better, because Kimbolton Fireworks (surprise) organise it. At least, I assume that they still do. It also has the "more interesting backdrop" thing going on. Word of advice: traffic and parking are likely to be nightmarish - get there a long time before it starts. I'm also not sure of the date: if it follows the usual rule it will be on Thursday 6th, but I won't put money on that.

Looks like it's Friday.
Kimbolton is really close and the display seems impressive in scale. Unfortunately not being a weekend day might be impossible to get there early
