The East Pier will be closed to the public on Monday 15th August to enable the safe set up of the display site. We would request that the maritime exclusion zone is adhered to by all water bourn craft prior to the display, as craft encroaching too close to the East pier could delay or even result in the cancellation of the display for safety reasons.
