The seaside fireworks season begins with a bang at Hemsby during the bank holiday weekend.

Crowds will be gathering to watch the display at various vantage points across the village on Sunday, May 28 from 10pm.

Pubs and holiday parks will host special sessions where visitors can enjoy the illuminations, bringing a boost to local businesses.

The fireworks are part of a series sponsored by the Greater Yarmouth Tourism and Business Improvement Area as part of its drive to attract more visitors.

Lyndon Bevan, Hemsby businessman and GYTABIA events group chairman said: 'People come a long way to see the fireworks.

'Some watch it from the beach, but others enjoy the display from local pubs and holiday parks, which have special drink and food deals, or combine it with a barbecue.'

Further fireworks in the village take place over six Tuesday nights from July 25.
