THE SKY will explode with colour for the annual New Year’s Eve fireworks display in Harwich.

Organisers will again be holding the midnight fireworks extravaganza off the quay, an event which brings thousands out to celebrate the new year.

Committee member Betty Holbrook said last year’s massive midnight display attracted an amazing 6,000 people.

“The people love it," she said.

Bucket collections will be held on the night.

Supporters can also send cheques made out to Harwich Quay Fireworks to Mrs Holbrook.
