Portsmouth Annual Fireworks Display Details

The annual fireworks display at King George V playing fields will take place on Wednesday 6 November.

The children's funfair opens at 4pm and the bonfire will be lit at 7pm.  The fireworks display will start at 7:30pm following the countdown from Deputy Lord Mayor of Portsmouth.  This year's display has been supplied by Pains Fireworks and there's also stalls selling hot food & refreshments.

Visitors are asked not to bring their own fireworks or sparklers to the display for health and safety reasons.
