Llandudno fireworks display confirmed for late October

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 27 Oct, 10:02 · Archive

Llandudno's £42,000 fireworks display will go ahead on 27 October despite stormy weather.

Organisers of Llandudno's annual fireworks display confirmed the event will proceed on Tuesday 27 October at 7pm, with a backup date of Wednesday 28 October. The decision came after stormy weather and strong winds over the weekend had cast doubt on whether the display could safely take place.

The £42,000 spectacular, described as the biggest fireworks display in North Wales, draws thousands of visitors to the town each year. The event is heavily dependent on tidal conditions, with organisers needing at least an hour to install equipment on North Shore beach before the display and time to clear it afterwards. The fireworks are scheduled to last approximately 20 minutes.

Llandudno traditionally holds its display in October rather than on Guy Fawkes Night in November. Following a meeting of the Fireworks Working Group on Monday 26 October, organisers said: 'We can't wait to welcome everyone for what promises to be a fantastic evening.' The Town Council's Fireworks Sub-Committee is aiming to raise £5,000 or more through business sponsorship, with Councillor Carol Marubbi also encouraging attendees to make £1 donations towards the cost.
