***PLEASE NOTE ***
Due to concerns over COVID-19
Fleet Lions Firework Fiesta for 2020 has had to be cancelled.
Fleet Lions Firework Fiesta - 2 November 2019
WE DIDN'T LET A DROP OF RAIN SPOIL OUR FABULOUS SHOW but it made it hard work for us!
Thanks folks for turning out to our fireworks on such a manky night. Over 4000 of you did and helped us raise over £11,000 for good causes. . The weather gave us a lot of problems so apologies for a late start. And also for the funny ending of the display – the wind broke our ‘goodnight’ to you. Hopefully better weather next year and we’ll see you then.
