Fancy something to add a ‘spark’ of romance into your life this Summer? If you do, why not try the annual British Fireworks Championships, which take place on Plymouth Hoe/Plymouth Sound over 11 and 12 August. Admission is free and a number of cosy self-catering properties are available in the local area.
The event, which attracts the cream of the country’s firework display teams, is guaranteed to set hearts racing, and the ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ factor is unsurpassable! Plymouth Sound provides the perfect backdrop to the event as spectacular fireworks burst over the water – enough to melt any heart.
The displays start around 9.30pm each evening, just as darkness descends, and a variety of entertainment including fairground rides, will be on hand on the Hoe.

When you’re not admiring the spectacular fireworks, Plymouth has a host of other attractions. The Hoe is an historic scenic viewpoint where you can enjoy the amazing views across the Bay or visit Smeatons Tower, one of the world’s most famous lighthouses & Plymouth Dome to discover 400 years of history ranging from the voyages of Drake and Cook through to the devastation experienced by the town during the World War II.
The Barbican is close by, where you can meander through the cobbled streets visiting individual specialty shops, craft workshops and art galleries. Many local artists who have won global reputations, including Beryl Cook, Lee Woods, Brian Pollard and the late Robert Lenkiewicz, have works on display, and there are many interesting old pubs and cafes to visit.
And if you fancy a dip then the Art Deco Tinside Lido is close by, as are the beaches of Bigbury and Whitsand Bay, each a short drive away. Catch the Cremyl ferry across to Mount Edgecumb Park and you can discover the hidden Cornish villages of Cawsand and Kingsand with their quaint old streets and their glorious beaches. What could be more romantic?
