Saltford School PTA host their regular Family Fireworks Display on Friday 3rd November on the school field.

The event is a much needed fundraiser for the school. We understand that nearby residents with pets may wish to be aware that this is taking place. The school gates will open for those attending at 5:15pm. Families attending have been encouraged to walk to the event to avoid congestion on the roads around the school. The firework display will start at 6:30pm and last for approx 12 minutes. The PTA are delivering leaflets to roads around the school itself prior to the event but we would be grateful if you could share the information above with neighbours who may not be on social media.

Gates will close at 6.15pm, and all food stalls will also close at 6.15pm to allow everyone to enjoy watching the fireworks.

The school would like to thank our wonderful sponsors who helped to keep the ticket prices low – Davies and Way and Amdaris  – and our fantastic PTA for organising this popular event.
