LOTS TO DO

Supporting Local Charities

The Big Beach Bang is the premier fireworks event in the Southend area. Held annually in November at East Beach in Shoeburyness, our fireworks display attracts thousands of spectators for an evening of fun and entertainment.

All proceeds go to local charities in the area, so when you purchase a ticket, you’re not just gaining entry to a funfair and fireworks extravaganza—you’re actually helping your local community. We couldn’t run this event without the support of the community, the spectators, and the kind volunteers who give up their free time to help us put on this event every year.
If you are interested in volunteering at this years event please complete our volunteer form below to register your interest.

The event is organised on a voluntary basis by the members of Southend Round Table 106 and is one of our 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 1970s.

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.

We look forward to seeing you there!

FAQS

Southend Round Table reserves the right to refuse entry or to eject any guests whose behaviour falls below the standards we would reasonably expect at a family event. Please do not bring fireworks, sparklers, alcohol or animals to the event as they will not be allowed onto the site. The gates open at 5.00pm – to avoid long queues please arrive in good time.

Public safety is the priority at our event. The event has been subject to a full risk assessment and appropriate safety procedures have been put in place. For your own safety please remain behind the barriers and do not enter the fallout zone. We request that you follow any directions given by our stewards – they are for your own safety. In the event of injury or illness please notify an event steward who will direct you to our onsite first aiders.

  • Refunds are not available. All proceeds raised are for local
    charities and good causes though so your entrance fee is going towards funding awesome causes in your local community.

Unfortunately we do not offer free tickets for carers.

Due to the location of the venue, it is held in the field next to the beach, we are unfortunately not able to provide any specific facilities for disabled guests, however, the venue can be accessed and there is a hard standing area on the road. Disabled toilets are also available on site and there is of course disabled parking.

We cannot control the weather but the event takes place in November so it will most likely be a cold night.  So wrap up warm and wear sensible footwear as it may well be muddy.  
Depending on the prevailing winds some ash from the fireworks may fall into the crowd, this is basically harmless but may mark  your clothing so we recommend leaving your new designer jacket at home and cannot be held liable for any damage caused.

  • The Organiser is not liable for any loss, injury, or damage unless due to negligence, unforeseeable circumstances, or Force Majeure events beyond the Organiser’s control.
