FIREWORKS will be lighting up the skies once again this summer.

The popular displays at Bournemouth seafront and on Poole Quay attract thousands of visitors each year. 

They are as much of a summer tradition as fish and chips and a Mr Whippy at the beach.

The events are free and take place weekly throughout the summer.

Here’s everything you need to know.
