Last call for public to get tickets to enjoy Himley Golden Anniversary fireworks

People are being urged to secure their tickets for the special anniversary Himley Fireworks, with the event expected to sell out ahead of the big night.

Dudley Council said tickets are selling fast, with hall access and premium viewing tickets already sold out. Spaces for the hall’s sensory room spaces are also available.

Sponsored by Custom Technology Solutions Ltd, the 50th anniversary celebration will mark five decades of the special family event with a spectacular 30-minute fireworks display choreographed to a soundtrack of favourite songs.

The largest local authority-run fireworks event in the UK, it attracts thousands of visitors each year and has become a much-loved tradition for families across the Black Country and beyond.

There will be entertainment, including BBC Radio WM presenter Ed James, a Word of Mouth DJ set and live performances, as well as a giant funfair, night market and a wide range of food and drink stalls.

Visitors will also be able to enjoy the action on a large 60-square-metre screen and convenient shuttle buses operated by Diamond and National Express will run from locations across the borough for just £1 each way.

Councillor Damian Corfield, cabinet member for neighbourhoods, said: "We are so excited to mark the 50th anniversary of the Himley Fireworks event, which brings families together to have fun and celebrate.

“This event will be our biggest and best event yet, and we'd like to thank our sponsor, Custom Technology Solutions Ltd, for supporting this special anniversary celebration.

"Tickets are selling extremely quickly so I'd encourage anyone planning to attend to book immediately."
