'I am truly sorry': Bristol pub regretfully cancels fireworks show for 2025 - here's why
A pub in Bristol says it is “truly sorry” after cancelling its fireworks show for 2025.
The Star & Garter in Montpelier explained the reason for the decision on its Facebook page.
Landlord Malcolm Haynes wrote: “As you are aware, the event has always been free and is funded solely on our drink and food sales made at the pub and in the park.
“With the increasing costs of, road closures, park permit, advance signage, stewards, security, toilets, fencing, build costs, bar costs, stock, staffing, first aid cover and clean-up...
“The event is no longer viable and has been running at a substantial loss for the last couple years.”
He added: “I am truly sorry that we are not able to provide this annual family community get together.
“I will see what other options that could be explored to help fund this great event in the future.”
