The skies over Newby Hall and Gardens will be lit by a dazzling display of pyrotechnics during the August bank holiday weekend.

The ‘Fireworks Champions’ event will take place on Saturday 24 August when three of the UK’s best fireworks companies battle it out to win the title, each staging an impressive ten-minute display choreographed to music.

Visitors will vote using their mobile phones for the best display before last year’s winners of the competition stage a grand fireworks finale to round off the evening.

Stuart Gill, commercial director at Newby Hall, said: “Our annual Fireworks Championships provide an evening of great entertainment with stunning displays by some of the UK’s leading fireworks companies.
