The summer holidays are back with a bang next week as fireworks return to the coast.  

Big Tuesdays and Big Wednesdays begin at Hemsby on Tuesday, July 25, and Wednesday, July 26, in Great Yarmouth, and will run every week for six consecutive weeks. 

Fireworks will illuminate the skies at both locations at 10pm - but a plethora of free entertainment takes place each Tuesday and Wednesday at 5pm and 9pm, courtesy of Out There Arts which will be putting on street performances. 

Lyndon Bevan, chair of Visit Great Yarmouth, said the ‘Big’ events always attract a huge crowd. 

“Our firework evenings are so popular with day trippers, who make a day and evening of it, our holidaymakers, who see it is an integral part of their time with us, and our residents, who comment that they are lucky to have this on their doorstep,” he said.

Joe Mackintosh, chief executive of Out There Arts, said they were “delighted” to be able to expand to 12 evening events in Great Yarmouth and Hemsby across the summer this year. 

He said that Great Yarmouth is becoming one of the UK’s leading producers of outdoor arts and circus events. 

Each evening is funded by Greater Yarmouth Tourism and Business Improvement Area (GYTABIA) trading as Visit Great Yarmouth and delivered by Out There Arts. 

Asa Morrison, chief executive of Visit Great Yarmouth, said preparations had been made to launch the fireworks from three different locations.

“We have picked three fantastic locations to potentially set off the fireworks, allowing us flexibility with the weather, but also giving people a chance to experience as much of the seafront as possible and perhaps new businesses and attractions that they haven’t accessed before. 

“We want to ensure that all our visitors have the best possible views and enjoy a memorable experience.” 

The location of the fireworks will be announced at midday on the day of each event, on both Out There Arts and Visit Great Yarmouth’s social media, as well as Visit Great Yarmouth’s website.
