Hovertravel Offers Great Value Evening Flyer Deal for Southsea Common Fireworks
14/10/25

Hovertravel is excited to announce a special Evening Flyer offer for islanders looking to celebrate Fireworks Night on Southsea Common. On Tuesday 5th November, for departures after 3pm Hovertravel’s returns across the Solent will be just £15 per adult and £10 per child. This is a fantastic opportunity to enjoy one of the South Coast's most popular, and free, fireworks displays with friends and family.



The annual Portsmouth Fireworks Display will light up the skies above Southsea Common with a dazzling array of colours. The event, organised by Portsmouth City Council, kicks off at 4pm with a variety of stalls and family-friendly entertainment. The grand fireworks display is scheduled to begin at 7pm and will last until 7:20pm. Conveniently located just a short walk from Hovertravel's Southsea terminal, the event promises a memorable evening for all. 

Hovertravel’s return service departs Southsea at 7:45pm, getting passengers back to the Isle of Wight in under 10 minutes on the fastest ferry across the Solent. Islanders can enjoy a hassle-free journey home after the fireworks, avoiding the congestion on roads and other transport routes. 

Loretta Lale, Head of Marketing & Digital Development at Hovertravel, commented: "This Evening Flyer offer is a great value option for islanders wanting to experience the Portsmouth Fireworks Display. With our terminal just minutes away from Southsea Common, Hovertravel is the closest and quickest ferry operator to the event. Islanders can enjoy a spectacular evening and be back home in no time – it’s the perfect combination of convenience and fun."

This year’s event will take place instead of the usual fireworks at King George V Playing Fields in Cosham. While there won’t be a bonfire, the free stunning fireworks and festive atmosphere will more than make up for it. Don’t miss out on a fantastic night, and take advantage of Hovertravel’s great deal for an unforgettable Fireworks Night. For more information and to book your tickets, visit: www.hovertravel.co.uk/fireworks
