£7,375 raised from fireworks display

Lyme Regis' firework display, organised by Regatta & Carnival Committee, went off with a bang last night with a huge crowd turning out to watch the annual pyrotechnic extravaganza over the Cobb.
The event raised £7,375 via a collection on the night, online donations, the sale of LED foam batons and support from local businesses. 

Alan Vian, Chairman of Regatta & Carnival, said: “It was another fantastic night in Lyme and great to see so many people enjoying themselves. We have raised enough to ensure the display will go ahead next year and better still, we have money which will go back into the local community. 

"We are extremely grateful to those who donated and would like to thank our brilliant volunteers who held collection buckets. We’d also like to thank our primary sponsors Lyme Bay Holidays, SWIM and Alexandra Hotel plus all the other wonderful business supporters, as without them we would not be able to put on events like this. The positive feedback received has been amazing, and we look forward to putting on another spectacular display next year.”
