The fireworks event is exempt from requiring attendees to have vaccine passports.

Organiser Cllr Donald Reid said: “Remember warm clothes, wellies or boots for wet grass underfoot and a torch.

“Make sure your children have a note of your name and mobile in case getting separated. Tell them to go to any steward if separated and we will have a lost children post signed at the stage and pavilion in the centre of the park.”

"Please consider all other options before driving to Fireworks where ever possible.

"We have Park and Walk routes signposted from Kilwinning Railway Station (via Claremont Crescent) and Kilwinning Town Centre parking (via college and Academy) plus the college car park.

"All of the above options means you are not caught in traffic as much on arrival but especially on departure with the school car park reporting long delays to enter and leave with an hour to clear the site not being unusual.

"Please follow the signage and stewards will help. Please do plan to arrive early."

Blue Badge Parking is Limitied at Kilwinning Academy as the school is open. So please have your badge ready as you approach the school and stewards will direct you.

The bus route runs nearby on the 11 bus, Beith and Ardrossan buses stop right outside.

Kilwinning Train Station is a 8 to 10 minute walk to the park.

Cllr Donald Reid added: "Its worth repeating this is delivered by volunteers at Kilwinning Community Events so therefore donations are essential to keeping the event going.

"On the night we will have buckets out, the suggested donation guide is £5 per family or what you can afford.

"We have provided online payment this year for visitors following many requests for those watching from afar, online or simply you do not carry cash.

"We have also introuced a £1 donation contribution for those using the car parks and want to support the voluntary groups who steward them so well. (BBs and Scouts)."
