New date set for fireworks show to brighten up the sky

The popular 1980s-inspired fireworks event in the northern part of the Isle of Man, which was postponed last month due to high winds, is now set to take place on Saturday.

Organised annually by the Ramsey Commissioners, the display will illuminate the skies above the boating lake in Mooragh Park, starting at 18:00 GMT.

The event draws thousands of visitors to Ramsey each year to witness the dazzling spectacle. It was initially planned for 2 November as part of Bonfire Night celebrations across the island but was cancelled for safety reasons. Forecasts at the time predicted winds reaching up to 35 mph (56 km/h), prompting the authorities to postpone the event.

Officials had previously indicated that they were exploring alternative dates, and now the display has been successfully rescheduled for this weekend.
