Doncaster venue cancels fireworks after free viewing proves too costly

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 11:32 · Archive

A Doncaster venue has cancelled its firework display because too many people watched without paying.

A firework display in the Doncaster area has been called off after organisers decided the event was no longer financially viable. With large numbers of people able to watch the display for free rather than paying to attend, the venue found it increasingly difficult to justify the expense of staging the event.

The decision reflects a broader challenge for entertainment venues seeking to cover costs when public events can be viewed without admission.
