Hundreds of people turned out for an evening of fiery entertainment including fairground rides, food outlets and bar, with families tucking into burgers and hot dogs galore.
There was also live music before and after the event.
Gates opened at 4pm and the bonfire was lit at 5.30pm to warm the crowds up. But this was only the precursor to the main event of a lengthy firework show which kicked off around 7pm.
