In photos: Fireworks display lights up the skies above Brean

The skies above Brean were lit up with fireworks on Saturday night (March 29th) when the resort's leisure park held the first of a series of four displays.

Heavy rain throughout Saturday dented the size of the crowds watching the event, but the 300 spectators enjoyed a colourful 15-minute display.

While there was no admittance charge, there were collections for local good causes, including St John’s Ambulance, Burnham Cadets and other local charities including BARB, whose crewmembers were in attendance at Saturday's event with Burnham's Spirit Of Lelaina hovercraft.

Further fireworks displays are scheduled throughout the tourist season on Saturday May 31st, Saturday August 30th and Saturday November 1st.

Saturday's display also marked the opening of three new rides at the fun park - The Waveswinger, Sky Diver Tower and Looney Tunes kiddie ride.
