Newquay Fireworks Displays Bonfire Night
Truro (Cancelled)
Truro City Council’s annual Bonfire Night display was set to move to a new venue this year following last year’s “chaos” and police concerns. Traditionally held at Tremorvah Playing Field, the 2024 event was planned for Truro Cattle Market. However, town clerk David Rodda confirmed during a council meeting on Monday, October 20, that the event has now been cancelled, explaining that it has simply become “too big” for the council to manage alone.
