Spectacular fireworks displays will take place at Newby Hall this Saturday (August 27) as it hosts the fifth instalment in this year’s Firework Champions events.
Firework Champions was founded in 2002, offering people across the UK professional fireworks displays on a localised level.
It sees three teams - Dynamite Fireworks, Pyrotex Fireworx, and Phoenix Fireworks - present their own unique spin on the firework display formula to win over the audience who can vote for the winner via SMS at the end of the show.
On top of this, there will also be a drone light show courtesy of DroneSwarm, funfair rides, music, food and drink from some of the UK’s leading vendors, and much more.
Mat Lawrence, managing director at event organiser MLE Pyrotechnics, said: “It’s an honour to return to Newby Hall for another year of our Firework Champions event.

"We’ve got a tonne of great entertainment in store thanks to our three competitors as well as a spectacular closing display from SmartPyro.
"It’s going to be a great day out for families, there really is something for everyone at Firework Champions.”
At 4pm, gates open for entry alongside pre-show entertainment, the DroneSwarm light show at twilight, and the main event which begins at 9.30pm with SMS voting at 10.15pm.
The larger closing display takes place at 10.30pm, followed by the results which are announced at 10.40pm.
Mat said: “Everyone has fun each and every time we organise an event here at Newby Hall.
"The magnificent grounds, combined with the amazing entertainment and firework displays, ensures it’ll be an event people will never forget.”
