Organisers of Sunday night’s Burnham-On-Sea seafront fireworks display are asking spectators not to support unauthorised street traders.
The Burnham-On-Sea fireworks display will be held this Sunday, 7th November, starting at 6.30pm.
“Each year at the event we see unauthorised street traders selling eye-catching toys to the crowd,” says a Town Council spokeswoman.
“These street traders do not support either the event or local business and the Town Council does not endorse the products sold.”
She adds: “The council asks attendees to consider donating any spare change to the Rotary Club’s charitable bucket collections sited along the Esplanade during the event.”
“All of your donations made to the Rotary Club will go towards supporting good causes for the benefit of both the local community and to support wider life-changing major projects.”
The spokeswoman adds: “As we all look forward to a fun and safe event, the council would also like to remind attendees not to bring their own fireworks or sparklers, and to leave pets at home.”
“Please also remember to be considerate of those around you to help prevent the spread of Covid-19 and all other winter bugs.”
Large crowds are expected to watch the seafront display, which is being organised by the Town Council.
Burnham-On-Sea.com is among the sponsors of this year’s display, alongside Home Farm holiday park, the Taste of the Orient Chinese restaurant, Barrington & Sons solicitors, plus financial advisors Positive Wealth Creation.
