Thousands of people are expected to flock to Seaton Carew this autumn for the much-loved Hartlepool Fireworks Spectacular on Sunday 1 November.
The free family event, organised by Hartlepool Borough Council, will light up the promenade with a programme packed with excitement, entertainment and community spirit, and the Council is delighted to confirm that X-energy, which is leading on new nuclear investment in the town, is once again backing the event as headline sponsor.
Full details, including timings, will be announced closer to the event, but visitors can look forward to live entertainment, a children's fairground, stalls selling tasty food and, of course, the spectacular musical fireworks finale that has become one of the highlights of Hartlepool’s events.
Councillor Rob Darby, Chair of the Council's Housing, Growth and Communities Committee, said: “The Hartlepool Fireworks Spectacular is one of the biggest and most eagerly-anticipated events in our calendar, bringing together thousands of residents and visitors.
"We are extremely grateful to X-energy for once again coming on board as headline sponsor.
“Its support helps us to deliver an event that people of all ages can enjoy and reflects its commitment to our borough, our communities and our future.
"The Fireworks Spectacular creates a wonderful atmosphere, celebrating the very best of Hartlepool, and we look forward to welcoming everyone to what promises to be another truly memorable event."
Leon Flexman, X-energy's Corporate Affairs Director (UK), said: “We're thrilled to be supporting the Hartlepool Fireworks Spectacular once again and playing a part in one of the borough’s best-loved events.
“We know how much people look forward to this every year and we're delighted to help make it happen.
"Hartlepool has an incredible ability to bring people together and events like this showcase the pride, energy and spirit that make it such a special place.
"As we continue to strengthen our presence in Hartlepool, we're committed to supporting initiatives like this that benefit local people and celebrate the community we intend to be part of for many years to come.”
