Demetri, David, Richard and Clair have got a super-special treat in store for you with a rare thing for UK - a daytime fireworks and smoke display using some of the most incredible pyrotechnic product available. This is absolutely not to be missed - incredible stuff!!
Up later, after full darkness descends over The Forest 👻, the crew will leave you all agog with one of their trademark, wow-factor-10-zillion, competition-level shows. 10 minutes of pyro-musical madness set to a mash-up of summer favourites, supported as always by Major Entertainments Ltd.
WARNING - this warning covers BOTH displays:
There will be several very loud whistles, bangs, screamers and explosions, at ground level and at altitudes of between 100 and 200 metres, which could cause distress to those of a nervous disposition, the very elderly or infirm, or the very young or indeed pets. It is absolutely NOT Chase Lane Fireworks's intention to cause fear or distress to our friends and guests, but these will be very loud shows.
