The village filled with cars as people drove in to see and then even more drive in and park on the incoming roads on each side of the valley to watch from a distance. But the best position is to actually be underneath it in the field, and for just a few pounds (all money collected goes to Garrigill village hall) then that has to be the place to stand.
Dragonfire obviously design this show for those that are in the field and their technical brilliance really shines through. Long distance crossovers, fireworks rising and falling only to re-ignite and rise again, sculptures of fire and then the finale of night turning into a day above your head, the dark sky lit by a fire of colours dancing in synchronicity, fire falling to earth to touch the grass just a few meters in front of you and each boom exploding across the valley and echoing back and forth until it fades away.
The display doesn't last a long time, but the effect leaves you breathless. This was my first Garrigill firework display, but it was by far the best display I have ever been to see, and for such a small village, wow, what an amazing event.
If you come to see it pay the few pounds and come stand in the field, you won't regret it.
