Hastings United FC Family Fireworks Spectacular

Hastings United FC are putting on their Family Fireworks Spectacular at The Continental Pilot Field on Friday 13 November. It's a full evening rather than just a quick display, with the gates opening at 5:30 pm and the fireworks starting at 8 pm, and the whole thing wrapping up by 10 pm.

Griffin Fireworks are behind the display, which is set to music and put together with sound sensitivity in mind. That's a useful detail if you're bringing anyone who finds loud noises a bit much. Before the fireworks, The Raven Drummers play live, and Wriggles and Giggles provide family entertainment in the Pilot Bar, so there's plenty to do with the kids while you wait for the main event. The entertainment continues in the bar after the display too.

There's a fair bit of food and drink around the ground to keep you going. Burger Bros are doing burgers, London Traders have pie and mash, and Jades Bakes & Cakes bring the sweets. There are marshmallows to toast as well. For drinks, you'll find Hastings United's own lager from Brewing Brothers, and coffee and pastries from Earls Out Post. Just a heads-up on the logistics: there's no parking inside the ground or at the Sports & Social Club, so you'll need to make other arrangements for getting there.

Tickets are cheaper if you book in advance: £8 for adults and £6 for children aged 2-16, with a family ticket for four at £23. On the day, it goes up to £10 for adults and £8 for children, and the family ticket becomes £25. Under-twos go free. The venue is The Continental Pilot Field, Elphinstone Road, St Helen's, Hastings TN34 2AQ.
