Weymouth fireworks are back with a bang!
Two lower noise displays are going ahead too
Last updated 2nd Aug 2021
The free firework displays held on Weymouth Seafront are back this year.
Starting tonight (2nd August) displays will be held every Monday in August (2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd, and 30th) with all displays starting at 9.30pm.
Weymouth Town Council have made the decision to trial two lower noise displays during the summer season firework programme on the 16th and 23rd of August.
The Town Council will then monitor feedback on the lower noise displays and make decisions on future displays.
Truly silent fireworks are not currently available for large scale displays.
Cllr Colin Huckle, Mayor of Weymouth Town Council, said:
“The fireworks on Weymouth Seafront are always extremely popular with local people and visitors, always creating a unique family friendly fun atmosphere in the town throughout the evening. We are delighted to announce this year’s summer firework programme, which will include the first trials of the lower noise fireworks.”
People are being encouraged to leave their cars at home and walk or use public transport when getting to and from the displays.
The fireworks are being supported by some of the seafront's businesses, which are: Edward Danters Fun Fair; The Boat Café; The Helter Skelter Fun Park on the beach; Alexandra Gardens Pleasure Grounds; Bacaro Italian Restaurant; and Harvey’s Bar & Kitchen.
On the display nights, the Town Council will be running a free competition, which you can find out about here.
