Newcastle's NYE fireworks displays cancelled due to weather
Due to the severe weather forecast and a yellow warning issued by the Met Office for strong gusty winds, Newcastle City Council has taken the decision to cancel this evening’s New Year’s Eve fireworks displays on the Quayside.
Newcastle City Council Statement:
"We know many were looking forward to celebrating New Year’s Eve on the Quayside with our spectacular fireworks displays, but due to strong gusty winds and a yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office, we’ve had to take the tough decision to cancel the planned events at 6pm and midnight.
Safety always comes first, and the forecast has made it clear that continuing would pose risks to those attending, as well as our event teams working on-site.
Newcastle’s Quayside is a special place to mark New Year’s Eve, and we understand how disappointing this news will be for both residents and visitors, including those who’ve travelled to our city. We’re incredibly proud of the community spirit Newcastle always shows, and we hope everyone can still find ways to safely welcome 2025 with family and friends.
We’d like to thank everyone for their understanding and patience, and we wish you all a very safe and happy New Year."
