Killearn annual fireworks event:
Please note that it is on Friday 4th November this year.
Gates open at 7.00pm
Display starts at 7.30pm
Also there will be no procession this year from the CO-OP to the Village Hall!

As the organisers are expecting higher than normal numbers of spectators to come along to thus evening’s Killearn Fireworks Extravaganza we’re putting out a call for an extra 8 volunteers to shake a bucket to collect entrance donations on the gates. If you’re able to help this evening, please come along to a meeting in the Church hall at 6.00pm (4th November 2016) to collect your buckets and a steward’s hi-viz vests. Thanks.
If you can help, please message us via www.facebook.com/Killearncommunityfutures/
