The Fireworks Championships are returning to Newby Hall & Gardens.

Newby Hall & Gardens near Ripon is set to host the annual Fireworks Championships later this month.

A dazzling display of pyrotechnics will light up the skies on Saturday 23rd August, when three of the UK’s best fireworks companies compete to win the title.

Each will stage an impressive 10-minute display choreographed to music.

Visitors will vote using their mobile phones for the best display, before the event closes with a huge finale display.

Gates open at 4pm when visitors are encouraged to come along with friends and family and enjoy a picnic, before a drone show at 8.45pm followed by the fireworks displays from 9pm.

Stuart Gill, commercial director at Newby Hall, said:
