Held on Halloween evening to avoid clashing with Remembrance events, this year's event brought together families and residents for an evening of spooky entertainment, food, music and fireworks.

Unfortunately, foggy weather conditions developed earlier than forecast and affected visibility of the fireworks display. The Council recognises that this was disappointing for many attendees and shares their frustration that the display could not be enjoyed in all its glory.

Despite the challenging conditions, the evening saw a fantastic community atmosphere, with many visitors embracing the Halloween theme in their spooky fancy dress.

The Halloween costumes, entertainment and fantastic community atmosphere really helped make the event special.

"My thanks go to everyone who worked so hard behind the scenes, our event partners, contractors, stallholders and, of course, everyone who came along to support us. Events of this scale take a tremendous amount of planning and teamwork, and that effort is very much appreciated."
