Teignmouth and Shaldon Fireworks and Bonfire Night

Shaldon Beach, TQ14 0HP

Bonfire on Shaldon Beach lit at 6.30pm Fireworks from over the estuary from the Point beach in Teignmouth starting at 7.15

A free community event to ensure all local families get to watch a traditional bonfire and fireworks display. This year’s theme is Jurassic Park, so there will be lots of friendly, and not so friendly, dinosaurs messing about on Shaldon Beach.

This popular event, organised by Shaldon Parish Council and Teignmouth Town Council, can get quite busy, so it is recommended that spectators get on to the beach well before the Bonfire is lit by the Shaldon Water Carnival Royal Party.

FREE to attend but donations very much welcomed to help fund next year’s event either by putting cash in collection buckets on the night or via the JustGiving page https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/teigncommunityfireworks?
