Home of Northampton Saints confirm this weekend's 'socially distanced fireworks' display is cancelled

A socially-distanced drive-in fireworks display that was set to dazzle this Saturday at the home of Northampton Saints has been cancelled.

Franklin's Gardens has confirmed the unique 'Covid-safe' event set for November 7 has had to be called off following the announcement on Saturday of the impending month-long lockdown.

The club has confirmed all tickets for the display will be automatically refunded.

The plan was for spectators to watch the 'drive-in' display from their own cars so customers could adhere to social distancing measures. The fireworks were also set to be broadcasted live by Northampton radio station N-Live.

In an announcement online, Franklin's Gardens have also confirmed a number of other events, camps and classes have had to be called off.
