A torch-lit procession will return to Yarmouth, as part of the town’s fireworks celebrations on Tuesday.

Crowds are being asked to arrive for 6pm before the procession, led by the Freshwater & Totland Samba Band, to The Common, when fireworks should be released off a barge, weather permitting, around 7pm.

Southern Vectis will be putting on two extra free double decker buses, return services from Moa Place, Freshwater, into the town on a first come, first served basis. The extra bus trips will be at 5pm and 5.30pm, with the return journeys at 8pm and 8.30pm.

Wightlink is also giving a 20 percent discount on foot, car and motorcycle ferry fares from Lymington between November 4 and November 6.

The fireworks are free, but Yarmouth Carnival organisers will be out with collecting buckets for donations to go towards all the events it does in the town during the year.
