Thousands of people enjoyed Lake Meadows’ 48th annual Billericay charity firework spectacular which once again saw a huge turnout from residents.

Huge crowds came to Lake Meadows which provided the perfect backdrop as fireworks lit up the night sky.

Thousands of pounds of fireworks were met with oos and aas by the crowd.

Organised by the Billericay Round Table, the night proved perfect for all the family.

With two displays, both provided by award winning Flashpoint, a synchronised low noise display entertained the youngsters, before the main display wowed crowds choreographed to iconic soundtracks.

In addition, Heart Essex’s Martin and Su had a stage

Heart Angels were roaming the park armed with their face paints to decorate and delight the younger children and really get the party started.

DJ Damien Stone performed throughout the evening, all adding to the atmosphere of the fireworks and bonfire.

There was also the Scouts torchlight procession, a bonfire, a small fairground, fabulous food stalls and a host of great acts on stage.

With another stellar event completed, and thousands of happy residents, the Billericay Round Table is already putting plans in place for next year’s event.
