Major construction work to transform the watersports centre and its immediate surroundings means that the public fireworks display hosted jointly by North and South Lanarkshire Councils in Strathclyde Country Park will not be held in 2025 or 2026.
The project to transform the existing building into a modern health hub is considerable. Although alternative locations within the park have been explored, using them would seriously impact on the operational capacity of the event site and could create safety issues for visitors, staff and contractors.
Other options were considered but no suitable alternative location could be identified that could safely accommodate the expected large number of people and vehicles that attend.
Following consultation with Police Scotland and a discussion on the identified hazards at the current waterside location, it has been decided to postpone the event.
Understandably people will be disappointed but the health and safety of visitors, staff and contractors are a priority.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
