Last Chance to Get Fireworks at Sea Event Tickets

A highly anticipated fireworks display that was set to light up the sky over Weston-super-Mare's Grand Pier is back on the calendar after it faced an unexpected setback due to concerns over Storm Ciarán and tickets are selling out fast!

The display, initially scheduled for Friday, November 3rd, faced cancellation as the storm's impending arrival brought forth unpredictable weather patterns, particularly erratic winds that posed safety risks.

The decision to cancel the Fireworks at Sea event was a difficult one, and was made by the third-party company who were responsible with putting on the display, with public safety as the paramount concern.

"With a heavy heart," a spokesperson expressed regret over the cancellation, attributing it to the unpredictability of wind speed and direction—a key safety consideration for any outdoor fireworks display. Southern England was forecasted to face damaging winds and potential travel disruptions due to the looming storm.

However, Pier authorities confirmed that the fireworks extravaganza will be  going ahead on Saturday, February 17 and there's just a few tickets left.

For ticket holders of the original date, Gold and standard ticket bookings have been automatically transferred to the rescheduled date. Meanwhile, platinum and ruby ticket holders will be contacted directly by the Grand Pier to facilitate the rebooking process.
