Over 40,000 people enjoyed a sparkling night at this year’s Carlisle Fireshow.
Organised by Carlisle City Council, the Bitts Park event celebrated the 1900th anniversary of Hadrian’s Wall and formed part of the Hadrian’s Wall 1900 Festival.
As well as a Roman-themed bonfire, more than 2,000 spectacular sparkling fireworks lit up the sky.
A Fireshow Village, in Castle car park, was an added attraction, offering food and family entertainment.
It was the 33rd fireshow staged by Carlisle City Council and was organised with Merlin Fireworks Ltd.
Councillor Stephen Higgs, portfolio holder for culture, heritage and sport, attended the event. He said: “The fireshow is always an amazing event and this year thousands of people joined us to watch and marvel at the spectacular show. It was a resounding success and I’d like to thank all those that made it happen.
