'Remember remember' not November for Llandudno fireworks but October!This year’s show at North Shore beach will take place on Saturday, October 27, before British Summer Time has ended and several days prior to Halloween and Bonfire Night.
Llandudno Town Council said the date was considered the most “favourable”, being chosen for safety reasons and as it fitted in with the tides.
Later dates were deemed unsuitable, including November 10 which is the night before Remembrance Sunday.
Cllr Greg Robbins, chairman of the council’s fireworks sub-committee, said: "Believe me, a lot of work - months of worth - goes into this display.
“A firework display is not always on November 5, traditionally it is around that date.
“Looking at the tides, it can be a difficult act. We want to put on a spectacular show but safety is paramount.
“We were very close last year when the tides came in quicker than we thought.
“We have our new venue of the beach and a spectacular backdrop, but it is dependent on mother nature and the tides.”
Town councillor Frank Bradfield, former mayor of Llandudno,it was important to emphasis that the fireworks display - one of the largest in North Wales - was “nothing to do with Guy Fawkes”.
"“We are very sympathetic to the date being inconvenient in some cases, but it is all determined by the tides.”
Should it be bad weather on the Saturday, back-up dates of October 28 or October 29 have been scheduled." ref Pioneer
