A RENOWNED fireworks company from Wiltshire will work alongside the Chippenham Rotary Club to deliver this year’s firework display in the town.

Distant Thunder are the current European and National Fireworks Display Champions and will stage this year’s public firework display at Monkton Park on November 5.

Held for more than 40 years, the Chippenham Rotary Firework Display is being supported this year by the Chippenham BID, Chippenham Town Council as well as building company McCarthy & Stone.

Tickets for the fireworks display will be on sale in advance at a number of outlets in the town at £4, with admission on the night remaining £5. Children under seven-years-old will be admitted free of charge.

Chippenham Rotary Club member, Brenda Spenceley, who has co-ordinated the event, said: “The Chippenham Rotary Firework Display has been running for over forty years and we have always enjoyed huge support from the community of Chippenham for this event and we want to be sure that we put on a display which is deserving of their support.

“So we are delighted to have engaged Distant Thunder and we are excited to be able to take advantage the company’s wide experience and expertise. We’re confident that we’ll have our best display yet.”
