Great Yarmouth Borough Council and Out There Arts working together to bring a striking new visual experience to Great Yarmouth

The Fire On The Water extravaganza will be an outdoor occasion that will showcase dramatic outdoor fire sculptures, hypnotic water projections and eye-catching art displays, allowing residents and visitors to see Great Yarmouth in a different light.

As the chosen location of the immense and mesmerising event, the Venetian Waterways will be transformed into a spectacular scene that will provide amazing cross-site visibility and offer plenty of car parking space, wheelchair accessibility and suitable space for visitors to adhere to social distancing guidelines.

Organised by the producers of the Out There Festival, the blazing demonstrations of unique fire displays and sculptures will transform the seafront backdrop into a dynamic and magical experience for all those who visit.

Firing ahead with their ambitious plans, the council and Out There Arts aim to release further information about the stunning acts and performances included in the line-up as the event draws closer.
