Due to forecasted westerly very high winds and considerations of the safety of visitors, local residents and event staff, Light Up Lancaster has taken advice from their event operators, Pennine Events, the pyrotechnics operators, Sirotechnics, and an independent safety officer, and has subsequently taken the decision to cancel the Fireworks Spectacular on Saturday 6th November.

“Whilst we regret that we are unable to offer this part of the festival, we are delighted to be able to continue to offer the planned Light Up artworks and installations which are taking place in and around Lancaster city centre on Friday and Saturday evenings from 5.00pm onwards.”

For a full statement about the cancellation, and details of the artworks and installations please see www.lightuplancaster.co.uk/fireworks
