FAMILIES were dazzled by Wickham'sÂ spectacular firework display that lit up the dark sky on Saturday night.

Young and old were left mesmerised by the colourful sea of colours that transformed the sky for the family bonfire and firework display at Glebe Field.

Organised by the 1stÂ Wickham Scout Group, scores of people wrapped up warm for aÂ chilly night with a warm drink or cup of soup at one of the refreshment stalls.

The ScoutÂ groupÂ were selling luminousÂ toys to raise funds for an international expedition they hope to go on.Â

And judging from the amountÂ that was being sold '“ much to the delight of theÂ children '“ the Scouts will get their dream trip.

Others treated themselves to a delicious hot dog while gathering around the raging bonfire.
