Saturday 4th November 2023 | East Beach, Shoeburyness

Southend Roundtable are delighted to announce the return of the Big Beach Bang annual fireworks.

Enjoy a spectacular fireworks display whilst bringing not only your family together but the whole community together. Thousands came along to our last display and we hope that thousands will come along this year. You can help us reclaim that community feeling by being part of an evening that really gives back to your local area. Our last display raised in excess of £10,000 for local charities - thank you for supporting this community event!

Unlike many big national charities 100% of the proceeds from the Big Beach Bang go to local charities; this is because the whole event depends solely on the hard work of volunteers. Every single penny goes back into your community. In the past we have helped Havens Hospices, Essex Air Ambulance, Southend Blind Welfare Organisation, Harp and many more.

Our volunteers work tirelessly for over 10 months planning and organising to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the night.

Supporting Local Charity

The Big Beach Bang is the premier fireworks event in the area, where all the proceeds go to charity. Held at Shoebury East Beach where every year thousands of spectators attend a great for an evening of fun and entertainment.

The annual fireworks spectacular that has a great DJ and a thrilling Fun Fair plus much, much more, so come and see thousands of pounds worth of fireworks set off into the night sky over the beach.

The event is organised on a voluntary basis by the members of Southend Round Table 106 and is one of their major fundraising events. It takes over ten months of hard work and planning to organise and its success can be attributed to many years of experience dating back to our earliest displays at Southend United’s Roots Hall Football Ground in the 1970’s.

If you want a fabulous fun filled family evening out that helps support the local community, then come to the Big Beach Bang Fireworks Spectacular.

We look forward to seeing you there!
