Great Yarmouth fireworks upgrade to triple display for autumn half-term seafront spectacular

 

• Visit Great Yarmouth reveal an upgraded triple firework display to the sky over the beach with colour for October half term
• Magical giant birds and fiery friends on stilts will roam the seafront entertaining the crowds in exciting street acts
• Seafront traders poised to maximise on a busy summer with extra autumn crowds for the free event

 

A triple fire work display will light up the sky over Great Yarmouth seafront and beach in glorious technicolour in an upgraded half term special event.

Fireworks will be set off from three points on central beach in an evening of family fun complete with exciting street acts entertaining along the seafront on October 29

.

Before the sky becomes ablaze, the crowds will be able to watch and meet giant Winter Wonderland Birds and fiery friends FarenHeight who will walk along the Golden Mile on stilts.

Seafront traders will be open to maximise on the extra visitors drawn to the destination by Visit Great Yarmouth’s free event, which builds on the success of the summer’s Big Wednesdays.

Organiser Visit Great Yarmouth’s  CEO Asa Morrison said: “We have the opportunity to upgrade this year from last year’s double display.  Working with our provider, we can deliver three displays at the same time on central beach, creating an amazing display.”

Before the displays at 6pm, street entertainment company Apus will set free its magical giant Winter Wonderland Birds from 5pm. They will strut along the seafront with their huge, fanned tails illuminated with changing colours into a stunning rainbow effect.

Accompanied by the snow queen character, they are the perfect family friendly walkabout entertainment – and keen to be stroked under their chins!

Also meeting the crowds will be Sizzling FarenHeight, funny fiery friends on stilts, who will dancing and mingle with the crowds.

The triple display will build on the six successful Big Wednesdays through the summer, which pulled in the crowds to support seafront businesses
