Whitby's fireworks for Queen's Platinum Jubilee rescheduled again
It's being postponed due to strong winds being predicted this week
Whitby's pop-up fireworks to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee has been postponed again.
It is the third time it is being re-scheduled due to strong winds being predicted.
The event will now hopefully take place on Whitby's East Pier at 7pm on Tuesday 1st March.
The special low-noise display, which was originally planned for the town's lights switch-on event in November, has been repurposed into linear display of low-level fireworks.
Announcing this pop-up event, Town Mayor, Cllr Linda Wild said:
"The whole town was disappointed when storm Arwen put paid to our plans in November. We had worked with Reaction Fireworks to develop a high-impact, low-noise display, which we would have launched from the East Cliff.
“Let’s hope it’s third time lucky!”
