Saundersfoot Big Bang Weekend
Each year, Saundersfoot choose to combine its celebrations for Halloween and Bonfire Night, resulting in a weekend-long village-wide event. The harbour becomes home to a funfair for a couple of days with two sets of fireworks displays, usually on Saturday night – a smaller “Little Bang”, especially for the children, followed by a main “Big Bang” display for the adults a little bit later! In previous years, the town has also been known to host additional activities such as spooky trails, a children’s disco and Halloween-themed competitions.
The Big Bang Weekend tends to take place around the end of October / early November to tie in with both events.
