The world-famous British Firework Championships are set to return to Plymouth’s waterfront on Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th August 2024. We’re hosting a fireworks viewing evening for both events!

If you’re looking for a safe and weather-proof location to watch this year’s displays, then look no further than the National Marine Aquarium. You’ll be able to explore our exhibits and meet over 5,000 stunning marine animals. Our Exhibits, Waves Cafe, Eddystone Bar, Softplay and Ocean Gift Shop will be open until 8:45pm, with the fireworks starting around 9:30pm.
