We have been asked a lot why the Big Bang is on Halloween this year. So we wanted to clear it up.
We are all volunteers, every penny the Big Bang makes goes to local charities. Therefore the 3 day set up and take down needs to be over a weekend so we can all get time off work.
We cant hold an event in the park on Remembrance weekend, I think we can all agree that Remembrance Sunday rightfully is a lot more important!
We need a large enough venue - this is the biggest fireworks event in South Wales - it needs a lot of space, and needs to be accessible as possible for the thousands of you who come and support.
We did consider moving the event to the Sunday, but it would likely mean families would struggle to come with it being a 'School Night' - especially at the end of half term.
We could have cancelled this years - but that would mean we have a lot less funds to give to local charities who we support.\
So we made the decision to go all in Halloween:-
Free Face Painting for children
Halloween themed event
Fire Breathing
Trick or Treating for children (thanks Tesco for their support with this)
So much more...
Gates open at 4:30 and the fireworks will go off at 7:15 (gates are closing at 7 so please don't arrive late) we hope this gives families time to enjoy everything extra we have put on, but also other Halloween things they have on too.
We look forward to seeing you all!
