🎆 What a fantastic night in Newcastle! 🎃
Thank you to everyone who came along to the Halloween fireworks this evening — the atmosphere was amazing, with such a great buzz outside the Newcastle Centre!

Our fabulous DJ, food vendors, and all the fun activities for the kids made it a brilliant community night. We were lucky with the weather too — even if a bit of wind brought the fireworks to an early finish!

So grateful the event was able to go ahead despite the recent weather, and wonderful to see so many happy faces enjoying the evening.

Happy Halloween!! 🎃 👻
