The ever-popular Wash Common Annual Fireworks Display takes place this year at Falkland Cricket Club on Tuesday November 5th.
Gate opens at 5.30pm, the bonfire will be lit at 7.15pm and the fireworks will follow at approximately 7.45pm.
All proceeds will be going to fund the charitable activities of Falkland Cricket Club, which includes promoting community activities and sport for all, regardless of age, ability or background.
There will be a number of outlets selling food, hot and cold drinks, a licensed bar, plus activities to keep young children occupied including a number of fairground amusements.
The event is becoming ever more popular. In the interests of crowd control and safety, guaranteed admission will be by pre-purchased tickets which are now on sale at The Bowler’s Arms (in Falkland Cricket Club), from noon onwards every day until Monday November 4th.
Admission may still be available at the gate on the evening, but at significantly higher prices, and only if we have not reached our capacity limit. However, there is no guarantee of this so you would be well advised to get your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.
There is free, on-site parking on the club’s second ground (200m south of the main ground display site – follow the road diversion signs). However, the available amount of parking space is limited. If there is no alternative to coming by car, it is advisable to arrive no later than 6.00pm. Parking will be allocated on a first come first served basis. The target audience for our event is the local community who are asked to come on foot if possible. Vehicle drivers from outside the area are asked to please avoid parking in estate roads, particularly on the diversion route, to avoid nuisance to local residents.
Please do not bring sparklers to the event.
