Some of the leading parks for caravans in the south-west pitted together to fund a fantastic seafront fireworks display last weekend.
Home Farm Caravan Park, Newcombe Caravan Park, Highbridge Caravan Centre, Sandyglade Caravan Park and Dolphin Caravan Park were among the local businesses supporting the Burnham-on-Sea extravaganza.
Holidaymakers staying in caravans at these sites were able to attend the free fireworks show, which attended a record crowd for the Somerset town.
The display was primarily funded by the Town Council, with Burnham-on-Sea Holiday Village and Unity Farm Holiday Centre also contributing to the event.
Guy Fawkes Night is one of the biggest festival dates on the calendar in the run-up to the Christmas period, and gave people all over the country plenty of reason to stay out in the cool November air for a few hours over the weekend.
Speaking to Burnham-on-sea.com about the success of the event, mayor Michael Clarke said: “It was a fantastic show that greatly exceeded expectations and it was wonderful to see a record large crowd on the seafront enjoying the display.”
The 25-minute spectacle was accompanied by music and involved fireworks provided by Skyburst Illuminations.
