📢 Sandown New Year’s Day Celebrations Postponed
Due to the forecast high winds for Wednesday 1st January, we have had to take the difficult decision to postpone our New Year's Day Celebrations fireworks display, which was going to take place at 6pm.
We had been hoping for the forecast to improve (which it has slightly) but the predicted wind speeds throughout the daytime are still too high for our fireworks contractor to safely set up the display at the end of Sandown Pier. Combined with high tide and likely rough sea conditions, it would not be safe for them to attempt the build. Of course, safety comes first and we regret having to take this decision.
The display will be rescheduled for later in 2025, which will be announced as soon as we have a new date confirmed. Please keep an eye on our social media channels and website for more information in due course.
We do apologise for any inconvenience and wish everyone a Happy New Year.
