The countdown to Blyth Town Council’s annual free firework festival has started and this year to celebrate the 50thanniversary of man on the moon, the event has a space travel theme which promises to be out of this world with plenty of atmosphere.
The event, one of Northumberland’s largest firework festivals is hosted by Blyth Town Council and will take place on Saturday 2nd November at Mermaid Car Park at Blyth beach. As well as a tremendous firework display, street theatre and other entertainment will be provided from 4pm. Metro Radio, a fun fair and catering facilities will also be on hand to ensure that the public get a Fireworks Festival to remember. A space themed fancy dress competition will also take place with spot prizes for those taking part in the intergalactic fun. The fireworks will commence at 7pm.
Blyth Town Council’s Mayor, Councillor Warren Taylor said,” The festival will have a space theme and obviously there will plenty of rockets and a few surprises too. Our festival is free to the public and safe to attend. This really is the best way to enjoy fireworks in a safe environment and I look forward to seeing everyone on the night.”
Blyth Town Council are grateful for the cooperation of Arriva who will be providing a ‘Park and Ride Service” on the day. A £2.00 ticket brings individual unlimited travel on Arriva buses in Blyth after 4pm on the day of the event, while families of up to three children and two adults, can take advantage of a family ticket for just £5.00. As there won’t be any on-site parking, the buses will be ideal especially as they are all buggy and wheel chair friendly enabling everyone to enjoy the event without having to drive.
