The skies above Hardwick Hall were lit up by bursts of bright colour as families flocked to a fireworks extravaganza.
Armed with sparklers and light-up wands, children and adults alike had a blast in the stunning grounds of the County Durham hotel on Sunday (November 3) as the event kicked off.
Before families lapped up the dazzling nighttime display, they took to the teacups and merry-go-rounds, with the event boasting a string of fairground rides for all ages.
And for those who fancied a bite to eat, there was everything from burgers and gyros to doughnuts on the menu with several food trucks feeding the hungry punters.
There was even a traditional Guy Fawkes bonfire on the evening, with stunning pictures showing the roaring flames reflecting onto the Hardwick Hall lake.
The Northern Echo visited the popular event over the weekend and captured fantastic photos of thrill-seekers screaming their way around the rides, hungry visitors tucking into street food, and families wrapping up warm ahead of the bonfire.

However, tickets are now sold out - so if you haven't already purchased your ticket then you won't be able to attend.
There are no tickets available at the doors.
