Family fun at fireworks display

Published Monday, 30th October 2017

Make a date for an action-packed evening of fun at the annual Hartlepool Fireworks Spectacular in Seaton Carew this weekend.

The free event on the seafront, near to the South Shelter/clock tower area, will take place on Guy Fawkes’ Night itself - Sunday November 5.

It is being organised by Hartlepool Borough Council and the theme this year will be “Magic”.

The fun will begin at 4pm with the opening of a funfair and entertainment, including musical performances, will commence at 5pm. The fireworks display is scheduled to begin at 6.30pm.

Councillor Kevin Cranney, Chair of the Council’s Regeneration Services Committee, said: “The annual fireworks spectacular is one of the town’s biggest events and we are expecting it to be as popular as ever.

“We are anticipating a huge turnout and we hope that people have a thoroughly enjoyable time.”

Visitors to the event are being asked not to try to set off their own fireworks on the beach as it isn’t safe to do so.

The Front at Seaton Carew will be closed to traffic from the junction with Elizabeth Way to the junction with station from 6.15-7.15pm. Also, in order to ease congestion, vehicles will not be permitted to turn into Station Lane from The Front after the event.
