Port Erin will not host a fireworks display this year.

The announcement was made by Port Erin Commissioners, who explained the possibility of hosting a display on November 5 had been explored.

Chair Godfrey Egee said: ‘Having reviewed the possibility of hosting a fireworks display at this late stage, it has been agreed that this is not something Port Erin Commissioners will be progressing.

‘Whilst I am sure that this news will be disappointing to some, it is important to note that there was no provision to hold a fireworks display this year, which was a decision based upon operational, financial, ecological and local business impacts taken during our rates setting process in December 2021.’

’For those wishing to view a display there are several others around the island which people can enjoy.’
