Notton Bonfire - Saturday 6th November - Cancelled
We had hoped that after the cancellation of last year's event due to COVID we would have been able to put on an event to celebrate our 20th year. However, after a great deal of thought and discussion amongst our team of volunteers we have regrettably decided to cancel this year's event for 2021.
This is not a decision we have made lightly and we are extremely disappointed that we are unable to give everyone an event which would have helped to put the challenges of the last two years behind us. Indeed it has been as a result of those challenges that we have been forced to cancel the event.
This year in trying to start our planning we realised immediately that we would not have the number of volunteers needed to run the event safely. This was further exacerbated by a huge reduction in our parking capacity which had already posed a significant risk to public safety in previous years. Finally we knew that although most of the general restrictions around the pandemic have now been lifted, there were still a number of controls & processes we would have had to make to keep the event COVID safe. These would have further complicated an already challenging process beyond the capacity of our volunteer team.
We would like to extend our heartfelt apologies to each and every one of you who have attended Notton Bonfire & Fireworks Display in the past that there will not be an event this year. Since it’s launch in 2001 we have raised over a quarter of a million pounds for local charities & services providing help to the local community alongside fun and entertainment to over five thousand of you who have attended each year.
We dearly hope that this is not the end and with that in mind we will still revisit a decision on hosting an event next year should the circumstances change and the situation improve. Thank you to everyone who has attended and supported us over the years and we greatly appreciate your understanding of the tough decision we have made.
