A huge thank you to everyone who helped make our fireworks night such a fantastic success! We were so lucky with the weather, and it was wonderful to see our school community come together for such a brilliant evening. 🥰

🙌 A special thank you to:

✨ Aurora Fireworks Ltd for the truly spectacular display! 🎆 Thank you so much for your outstanding professional support and care throughout the entire event. You have provided amazing support to Arunside Primary School over the years, and we are so very grateful to you! ❤️

💛 Our amazing volunteers and teaching staff for all their hard work before, during and after the event. We couldn’t do it without you!

🏡 Brock Taylor Estate and Letting Agents for helping us advertise the event and spread the word.

🍔 Horsham Butchery for the delicious burgers and hotdogs, and for your continued support of Arunside. You can find them at No. 9 Bishopric or visit their website: https://thehorshambutchery.co.uk/

🥞 Hadrien and Sarah from Bon Vivant for keeping our hungry crowd happy with their delicious sweet and savoury crêpes and raclettes!

🎤🎶 Stephen for the fantastic hosting and DJing, and Nick Cook - Circus Entertainer / Performer aka Micro Bot for another fun-filled visit!

🎆❤️ ARUNSIDE FIREWORKS NIGHT – WE REALLY NEED YOU! ❤️🎆

📅 Friday 16th October | 6–8pm

🙏 A HUGE thank you to everyone who has already signed up! We really appreciate you giving up your time to help. ❤️

However, we’re still desperately short of volunteers for the SECOND HALF of the event. We’re struggling to find enough people to cover the stalls and may now have to merge some, resulting in longer queues and waiting times. 😟

🙌 Could you spare just 45 minutes? Help at Glow, BBQ serving (no cooking!), the Bar or Refreshments. No experience needed, and full support is provided!

🎆 Worried about missing the fireworks? Don’t be! All stalls close for the fireworks display and won’t reopen afterwards, so you can enjoy the fireworks with your family! ❤️

We really need a few more helping hands to share the load. If everyone does a little, it makes a BIG difference!

👉 Please sign up here: https://volunteersignup.org/JC8J4

🍰 Cake and bake donations for the refreshments stand are also very welcome — please drop them off on the morning of the event.

❤️ Please help us make this a fantastic night for everyone. Just 45 minutes of your time could make all the difference! Thank you for supporting Arunside! 🎆
