The Big Beach Bang Committee

In 2018 the Big Beach Bang raised in excess of £10,000 for local charities - thank you for supporting this community event!

Enjoy a spectacular fireworks display whilst bringing not only your family together but the whole community together. Thousands came along last year and we hope that thousands will come along this year. You can help us reclaim that community feeling by being part of an event that really gives back to your local area.

Unlike many big national charities 100% of the proceeds from the Big Beach Bang go to local charities; this is because the whole event depends solely on the hard work of volunteers. Every single penny goes back into your community. In the past we have helped Havens Hospices, Essex Air Ambulance, Southend Blind Welfare Organisation, Harp and many more.

Our volunteers work tirelessly for over 10 months planning and organising to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the night. This year, we worked closely with Havens, who, in turn, were the chosen charity for Olympus who matched both the volunteers and money that Havens generate for this event and all other activities for the year. We were delighted to be working with them.

Tickets are £5.00 each if bought in advance- (online only) before the end of September, £6 up to 1^st November 2019, when bought either online or from one of our selected outlets as above. The online price will go up to £7.50 on the day- On the day it self the gate price will be £7.50

Please note:

Tickets bought online will incur an additional fee of £0.50 per order single tickets and £1.00 for family tickets.

The tickets are only required for visitors aged 5 and over, and the family tickets are for any group of four people aged 5 or over who wish to come along and watch the awesome show.

The gates open at 5.45, the display is at 7.45, and we ask people to leave by 9. There are fun rides, food and drinks stalls and so much more

The Big Beach Bang is the premier fireworks event in the area, where all the proceeds go to charity. Held at Shoebury East Beach where every year thousands of spectators attend a great for an evening of fun and entertainment.

The annual fireworks spectacular that has a great DJ and a thrilling Fun Fair plus much, much more, so come and see thousands of pounds worth of fireworks set off into the night sky over the beach.

The event is organised on a voluntary basis by the members of Southend Round Table 106 and is one of their major fundraising events. It takes over ten months of hard work and planning to organise and its success can be attributed to many years of experience dating back to our earliest displays at Southend United’s Roots Hall Football Ground in the 1970’s.

If you want a fabulous fun filled family evening out that helps support the local community, then come to the Big Beach Bang Fireworks Spectacular. 2nd November 2019

We look forward to seeing you there!
