This is the main event! It is all about bringing people together over fire, food and music, to connect and have a great time.

There will be a good choice of high quality crafts stalls; a deliciously varied menu of savoury and sweet, hot and cold food stalls (many are local stalls selling quality home-made food, from bacon butties and Cornish pasties, to Mexican and Indian, etc) plenty gluten free options, sweets; there is a snow hill for the children (bring a change of clothes or waterproof trousers); bouncy castles, wonderful lights.There will be live performances throughout, including a fire show by The Kanegang, great funk and soul by the 6-piece band THE SOUL AGENCY and songs and dance by local talent. As a grand finale, for the first time ever, there will be a FIREWORKS display choreographed to music.
A great night away from the routine!
You are also welcome to bring your own picnic if you prefer- it is a public park.
Important is only that you BRING YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY AND HAVE FABULOUS TIME!
