Last year, the Dark Knight burned to the ground and Gwynhaf the Dragon emerged from the ashes.
This week fiery saga Paraffinalia continues under the illuminating guise of the clever folks at Festive Road, who promise to warm the darkest, coldest of winter evenings with an inspired event at Campbell Park.
Saturday's (Dec 19) spectacular will welcome you along from 5.30pm so there will be plenty of time to warm yourselves around the braziers and tuck into some yummy hot food before the fire performers get busy at 6pm.
A parade of lanterns made by local children will follow, led by Festive Road's own cycle powered triceratops, Hilary.
She's the last herbivorous ceratopsid dinosaur still standing, and is nowhere near as scary as you might imagine. On the contrary, she is a gigantic pussycat in disguise!
The main performance begins at 7.30pm with a half hour show featuring the return of the Dark Knight, a shadow puppet show, a giant illuminated puppet, live music and plenty more fiery effects.
“Come and watch us reawaken Gywnhaf the Dragon and chase the chaos of the year back to the other side,” invite organisers.
Only brave, fiery, fun-loving sorts need apply!
Entry is free, but do take a little cash along to throw into the buckets – Festive Road are collecting for Leo's Appeal, raising much needed funds for the children's wards at Milton Keynes Hospital.
