The event has been a sellout in recent years and is run by the "Friends of Strathmore School Association" (FOSSA)

Rose Beynon, Chair of FOSSA, told Hitchin Nub News that "Strathmore's Fireworks Night is a fantastic event for families, with a wonderful display, but it also plays a crucial role in financially supporting the school".

"Run entirely by volunteers, every penny of the proceeds goes towards enriching the students' experience, funding essential resources such as books, IT equipment, playground upgrades, and even memorable outings like theatre trips".

Hitchin's "official" fireworks display is at the increasingly popular Priory on Friday 1^st November.

The organisers promise "an evening filled with live music, exhilarating fair rides, and the unique thrill of axe throwing. Warm up by our fire pits, enjoy some delicious street food, sip on a cup of mulled wine or toast marshmallows with friends. This event promises fun for all ages".

Standard Tickets are £10 for adults, £8.50 for Under 14's with Under 3's getting in free.

Hertfordshire Constabulary is offering the following advice around fireworks: 

·       Setting off fireworks in public areas is illegal.

·       If you are planning a private firework party, remember it is illegal to set off fireworks after 11pm, except on Bonfire Night when this is extended until midnight.
