Hylands Estate offers private professional displays booked by couples getting married at the Chelmsford venue. Those affected have been contacted directly by Chelmsford City Council, which owns the estate. “We know that Chelmsford residents care deeply about fire safety and conserving water during dry weather conditions.” The council says firework displays hosted at Hylands during the summer are closely monitored and delivered by experienced contractors, with a range of appropriate safety measures for dry conditions. However, the council has decided to suspend the displays as further dry conditions are expected throughout the next fortnight.
