Local fireworks displays cancelled due to the weather

Local fireworks displays have been cancelled at both Spilsby and the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre in East Kirkby.

The bonfire night fireworks display in Spilsby, organised by Spilsby Rotary, has been cancelled due to the waterlogged field and weather forecast.

In a statement, Spilsby Rotary stated:

“Good morning everyone we have decided to cancel the Firework display on Sunday due to the field been waterlogged and the forecast for more rain on Saturday”.

Elsewhere locally, the fireworks and night taxy runs at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre in East Kirkby on Saturday evening has also been cancelled due to the weather. In a statement, the Centre said:

“Following the first event set up day today we have undertaken another thorough inspection of the show site. We are very sorry to report that in the interests of customer and aircraft safety we have had to take the very hard decision to cancel our Fireworks and night taxy run event on Saturday. The rainfall over the last fortnight has meant that the heavy rain we have received today, and what is forecast for Saturday, has taken the car parks and grass landing strip to a condition which would not be safe to use.

Customer safety is our main concern and the condition of the car parks means that we could not ensure the safety of vehicles and customers entering and leaving the site. The Centre will be entirely closed on Saturday.

This year has been unprecedented with the weather we have had for our events, we truly hope for a better year next year.
