People on the coast are in for a ‘real treat’ as tourism bosses say they are spending more money on the final two weeks of summertime fireworks.  

The Big Tuesdays in Hemsby and Big Wednesdays in Great Yarmouth are back for only two more weeks lighting up skies off the east coast. 

Great Yarmouth’s final events will take place on August 21 and August 28. This week, the fireworks will be launched from the beach, east of Pleasure Beach Gardens, at 10pm. 

Entertainment will be provided by the performance group Spark! who combine vibrant illuminations with thundering drums.

The first show will be just after 7pm and the second at 9pm, with the acts situated around the central seafront location. 

Hemsby’s final fireworks evening, meanwhile, will take place on Tuesday, August 27, at the beach near the end of Beach Road. 

The street acts appearing in Great Yarmouth will also appear at Hemsby. 

Lyndon Bevan, chair of Visit Great Yarmouth, which funds and organises the displays, said they were pleased to have drawn in large crowds for the free events. 

“The fireworks are a staple part of the summer calendar and this year we have attracted huge crowds. 

“The weather has been largely on our side, and it’s been lovely to see so many families really enjoying all we have to offer on the seafront.” 

The events are funded by Greater Yarmouth Tourism and Business Improvement Area (GYTABIA) trading as Visit Great Yarmouth.

Visit Great Yarmouth is encouraging businesses to stay open late on the display dates to welcome customers and help build the evening atmosphere on the seafront. 

Asa Morrison, chief executive of Visit Great Yarmouth, said the fireworks had attracted day trippers, locals and holidaymakers at both locations. 

“We have invested more funding into the last two weeks of displays at Great Yarmouth so people that come to watch this week and next are in for a real treat.” 

Times and locations may be impacted by the weather.
