Children were entertained by fairground games, sparklers,  and families had a variety of food stalls to choose from. A favourite with children was the traditional candy floss stall with blue and pink clouds of candy on offer.

Samantha Leek is Headteacher at the school and she said, ‘We want to thank everyone who attended our fireworks display and also to those who helped to organise and plan the event. It was a fabulous and exciting display, and a good time was had by all.”

Samantha says the event was supported by Magic & Miracle Fireworks, St John’s Ambulance, Andrew Pryce, Fosters Event Hire, Bilsthorpe Scouts, North Notts Community 1^st Responders, ENVA, A1 Mobile, Native Crafts and Bilsthorpe’s St Margaret’s Church.

Also attending were retired NHS staff Mark, Cathy and Angie, who were raising money for children undergoing cancer treatment.

Samantha said, “The support of our families and local community has once again been amazing and I want to thank all those who attended our sparkling event!”
