Bonfires and Fireworks
The fire service
suggest that it is safer to attend a public fireworks event than
holding your own back garden bonfire party.
Fireworks Displays
There are no major Guy Fawkes fireworks displays in the Dengie Hundred area. The nearest large display is at Maldon.
Local Bonfires with Fireworks
Some villages or groups hold their own private
bonfires but there are three annual bonfire/fireworks events in the
area
