Fireworks - Access Statement

---

General 

Our event attracts between 8,000 and 10, 000 people every year and can become quite congested in some areas, particularly before the main display (19.00-19.45) and at the end of the event (20.30-21.00)  However the further back you stand towards the pavilion (away from the stage), the less crowded the site will be.

Parking 

Due to the location of the site there is no on-site parking.  Limited street parking is available on nearby roads.  Early arrival is advised. Traffic enforcement is in operation, so please park legally.

Access for Wheelchairs and Mobility Scooters

Our fireworks display takes place on grass and can therefore become soft underfoot in wet weather. The most straightforward means of access is via our Sutherland Avenue entrance.

A tarmac path also leads from Westerleigh Road across the site and allows access to the hard standing in Sutherland Avenue, from here you can access tracking which runs across the back of our site.

Toilets

Toilets are available on site located on hard standing next the play park.  There are no changing facilities on site.

Assistance Dogs

Assistance dogs are able to attend our event, however fireworks can be noisy and therefore stressful for some animals.

Medical Facilities 

Medical facilities including a mobile treatment centre and ambulances (including Paramedic cover) are available.

Noise

Our main display will be quite noisy, however our ‘less bangs more whizz’ children's display may be more suitable for some guests.

Help and Support 

Members of Round Table and volunteers from a variety of different organisations are on hand to provide support and assistance if required. Look for any of the stewards wearing high-vis with the Round Table Rondel.
