The display, funded by Portsmouth City Council always draws the crowds so please avoid driving if possible although parking is available at Lakeside.

Please follow the advice from marshals and use the underpass from Lakeside to the event site to avoid crossing Western Road. 

Visitors are also asked not to bring their own fireworks or sparklers to the display, as these are not permitted on site, as they are a health and safety risk.
