FIREWORKS EVENT 2024

Horton Kirby and South Darenth Parish Council regretfully announce the cancellation of this year's annual fireworks display. Due to lack of availability of Parish Councillors and our regular volunteers, plus, lack of time to train new volunteers, we are unable to meet the stringent safety standards required for such a large-scale event and, with the safety of our residents and attendees being our top priority, without a sufficient number of volunteers to ensure the event's security and compliance with local regulations, we have made the difficult decision to cancel.

We are committed to bringing back this popular community event next year, and so, we are actively seeking volunteers to help us make the 2025, and beyond, fireworks display a resounding success. Your help will be instrumental in ensuring a safe, enjoyable, and memorable fireworks display for our community.

Your help is needed for:

  • Annual Fireworks Display: Help with setup, clean up, and ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
  • St. George's Day Fete: Lend a hand with preparations, activities, and post-event clean-up.

Why volunteer?

  • Make a positive impact: Contribute to the vibrant life of our community.
  • Meet new people: Connect with like-minded individuals and build a lasting community spirit.
  • Gain valuable experience: Develop new skills and enhance your resume.

We will provide you with all the necessary information and support. Together, we can create unforgettable community events!

Volunteer today!

Let us work together to make Horton Kirby and South Darenth an even better place to live.
