Expossive fireworks display has been cancelled after the site was hit by flooding
The annual New Forest Fireworks Night at Strawberry Fields in Boldre was due to light up the sky on November 4.
But the event will not return with a bang as recent heavy rainfall has waterlogged the grounds.
Organisers said they were ‘disappointed and reluctant’ to cancel the event.
Announcing the news on Facebook yesterday, organisers said: “Despite our best efforts the ground is simply too waterlogged to host the amount of people we were expecting at the event and feel it is safer to cancel.
The last thing we wanted is for cars to be sliding around and getting stuck all night long.
“This also marks the end of New Forest Fireworks Night for the foreseeable future due to the ground not currently being suitable for events such as this at this time of year.
We hope we have given you all enough notice to make other plans.
