British Firework Championships
8th August, 2018 - 9th August, 2018
Event Navigation
The world famous British Firework Championships is set to return to Plymouth’s Waterfront next week! Each year, thousands of people attend this highly anticipated event, for those of you who may not have been before, here is an idea of what you can expect…
The lights from the fair ground rides on the Hoe can be seen for miles around, creating an exciting atmosphere with lots of happy faces. The smell of candy floss and hot dogs fills the air, which coupled with live music from local bands gets the party started! As the night draws in, everyone is huddled around with coats zipped up, scarves and wooly hats on.
Small children sit on their parents shoulders to see over the crowds and ensure they have the best view of the fireworks! From previous years we know that the sky will light up with every colour and we love watching the reflection on the waters of the historic Plymouth Sound.
We are offering an exclusive menu to celebrate the British Firework Championships. On 8th and 9th August, enjoy two courses in our Two AA Rosette Restaurant for just £15.95 per person before taking a leisurely walk up to Plymouth Hoe.
