⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE: TONIGHT’S POOLE QUAY FIREWORKS CANCELLED ⚠️

Please be aware that tonight’s Poole Quay Summer Fireworks (Thursday 20th August) will not be taking place. BCP Council has made the difficult decision to cancel this week’s events across both Poole and Bournemouth. (You can read their full statement at the end of this post).

We share your disappointment, as the Poole Quay fireworks are a much-loved summer tradition, but protecting our local environment and easing the pressure on our emergency services is the top priority right now.

Poole Quay’s brilliant restaurants, pubs, and historic waterfront remain open for a great evening out! We just ask that everyone stays vigilant and helps us keep our town and surrounding heathlands safe:
🚫 Absolutely no open fires or BBQs
🚭 Dispose of all smoking materials safely

Thank you for your support and understanding! ❤️⚓

Official Statement from BCP Council:
“Following a number of discussions in recent days, a decision has been made to cancel the upcoming fireworks at Poole Quay (20 August) and Bournemouth beach (21 August).
Although patches of rain are forecast for the coming days, there is still a significantly increased risk of wildfires as a result of an excessive period of hot and dry weather.
This increased risk is putting pressure on emergency services across the region.
We’re grateful for the public’s understanding as we all play our part in keeping our communities, open spaces and emergency services safe during these heightened conditions.”
