Blake will kick off Meadowbank fireworks
Edinburgh’s biggest Fireworks Display takes place at Meadowbank Stadium on Saturday, 5 November – and there are still some tickets available.
At what’s likely to be the last fireworks display to be held at the old Meadowbank Stadium before it is redeveloped, 13 year old Blake Ross has the honour of setting off Edinburgh biggest fireworks display on Saturday.
Blake recently starred in a film about Edinburgh Leisure’s Looked After and Active programme showing how physical activity and sports impacts positively on the lives of young people in care. With over five million customers across 31 leisure venues city wide, Edinburgh Leisure is a registered charity dedicated to creating opportunities for everyone to get active, stay active and achieve more.
Edinburgh Leisure runs over 20 ‘Active Communities’ projects that use physical activity to improve and, in many cases, transform the lives of people affected by health conditions, disabilities and poverty.
‘Looked After & Active’, one of Edinburgh Leisure’s Active Communities projects, has enabled 1,300 children and young people in care to get active and play. The project gives children in care, free access to Edinburgh Leisure’s venues and gets them involved in coach-led activities like learning to swim. It teaches them new skills, builds confidence and allows them to enjoy active, healthy childhoods.
Come along and enjoy the spectacular fireworks display on Saturday 5th November at Meadowbank! Edinburgh’s biggest fireworks display has been running for over 30 years, and is a great event for the whole family.
