Kingston upon Thames
Round Table & Rotary Club
Fireworks Display 2024
CANCELLED
It is with great sadness that Kingston Rotary & Kingston Round Table clubs are announcing that we will not
be able to run the annual Fireworks Display at the Kingston Weir Archer Athletics Stadium on in November 2024.
Despite our best efforts to meet the more stringent regulations covering crowd safety issues, the demands from
key stakeholders, the lack of support from the Borough Safety Advisory Group and the Police South West Events
Team, it has become clear that it would be difficult, costly & very time consuming to put on a safe and
successful event this year similar to those in the past.
This very successful community event has been running since 1992 and at least £200,000 has been donated to
local charities.
Charities we have supported previously include:-
• St John Ambulance - providing voluntary medical assistance
• Kingston Vineyard (Growbaby) - supporting Kingston families with baby supplies
• Kingston Samaritans - providing emotional support
• Kingston Foodbank - helping local people in crisis
• Save the World Club - delivering food to those in Kingston in need
• Voices of Hope - preparing meals & running the Kingston Food Hub
• Doing a Bit - preparing meals for NHS staff, community carers & the vulnerable
