The Staffordshire County Showgrounds were the setting for the annual Rotary Club of Stafford Castle Staffordshire Fireworks Extravaganza on Sunday night, with the venue filling through the evening with friends and families from 4pm onwards.

The display was put together by Pyro2000, who used a combination of Roman Candles, Multi-shot Barrages, Ariel Shells, Multi-coloured Stars, Gold Crackling Spiders and much more to provide a vivid, diverse and spectacular show.

As well as the display, there was live entertainment provided by Vibe 1, as well as a funfair from Stanworth Fun Fairs, with thrillseekers able to ride Dodgems, Waltzers, Freak Out, Super Bowl and Miami, while children could ride Runaway Train, Balloon Ride, Mini Jets, Toy Ride, Bungee Trampolines and Inflatable Slides.

Food and drink stalls were all present, providing a full evening of entertainment for those in attendance amid nice autumnal weather and a clear night sky.

We've picked out 19 photos which show the colour and fun of the Staffordshire Fireworks Extravaganza.
