Carlisle Fireshow 2022 – Sparkling event was a resounding success
This year’s Carlisle Fireshow attracted an audience of more than 40,000 people and has been hailed a ‘resounding success’.
Organised by Carlisle City Council, the Bitts Park event celebrated the 1900th anniversary of Hadrian’s Wall and formed part of the Hadrian’s Wall 1900 Festival.
In addition to a spectacular Roman-themed bonfire, more than 2,000 spectacular sparkling fireworks lit up the sky.
A Fireshow village, held in Castle car park, was an added attraction, offering food and family entertainment.
It was the 33rd Fireshow event staged by Carlisle City Council and was organised in conjunction with Merlin Fireworks Ltd.
Cllr Stephen Higgs, Portfolio holder for Culture, Heritage and Sport attended the event and said:
