Community comes together to “illuminate” Willingdon

Willingdon Community School and Stone Cross Primary School join forces with local businesses for a spectacular evening of entertainment, music, and fireworks.

 Our local community is once again pulling together to put on a night to remember, with Willingdon Community School, Stone Cross Primary School, PJ Skips, and many other local businesses and groups all joining forces for the annual highlight, ‘Illuminate’ Firework Extravaganza, taking place from 6pm to 8pm on Friday 6th November at Willingdon Community School.

The main attraction of the night will be a breathtaking, professional firework display delivered by award-winning pyrotechnic specialists Frontier Fireworks, capping off a packed evening which will include a vibrant torch-lit procession with the Eastbourne Bonfire Society and Stix Drummers, a fairground and stalls, and food and drink from local providers, with a bar hosted by Long Man Brewery.

Executive Headteacher at Willingdon Community School Emily May said, “Thanks to the incredible support of staff, volunteers, local businesses, and our partners, we're able to create a fantastic evening for families while raising valuable funds that directly benefit our young people. We can't wait to welcome the community for what promises to be a truly memorable night.”

Emma Clements, Headteacher at Stone Cross Primary School, added, “This event perfectly demonstrates what can be achieved when local schools and communities work together. It's a fantastic opportunity to celebrate everything that's special about our area."

Proudly sponsored by local business PJ Skips, Brewers Decorator Centres and Leaf Living, this year’s event promises to be the best yet – and limited tickets are available in advance for £5 (pre-schoolers are free) from multiple locations including Willingdon Community School, Stone Cross Primary School, The British Queen public house, and The RoadHouse deli and diner.
