Following its sell-out success last year, Fairlee Fireworks will be returning to Newport on Friday 3rd November.
This year’s event will feature fabulous fireworks, a fire show, a bonfire, live entertainment and a new fundraising challenge, ZipFire. Consisting of a 150m zipline across the site, Mountbatten is hoping more than 100 thrill seekers will soar through the skies to raise money for the cause.
Hosted at North Fairlee Farm in Newport, last year’s debut Fairlee Fireworks raised a huge £38,000 for the charity.
Fairlee Fireworks tickets cost £5 per person and, due to limited numbers, pre-booking online is essential.
Gates will open at 17:00 and the fireworks will start at 20:15.
Festival organiser John Giddings has said:
“We sold out in just 90 minutes last year, so people will have to be quick if they want to join us!
“2022 was a fantastic debut for this event and we’re really excited to be teaming up once again in aid of this wonderful cause. It’s going to be another great night.”
