Crowborough Town Council organises an annual Fireworks display on the 5th of November. (Please note, if the 5th of November falls on a Sunday, the event will take place on the Saturday, 4th of November) This extraordinary annual event has an exciting new display theme every year and is always very popular. This tradition has been held in Crowborough for years and is seen as an important part of the Crowborough Town Council's events programme. The event itself attracts up to 10,000 people from all over Crowborough, covering all ages and backgrounds. The event is greatly valued by young families, and it really sets the scene for the beginning of the festive season. Crowborough Town Council is seeking quotes for the designing the Fireworks installation as well as running of the Fireworks display, on the 5th of November at the town's Fireworks night. The contract will be awarded for a period of three years commencing in 2026.
