IT was the most popular fireworks display a New Forest attraction has had for 20 years.

Thousands of people braved the cold autumn air to enjoy a spectacular evening of dazzling fireworks at Beaulieu National Motor Museum.

The event on Saturday evening saw families descend on the museum where they enjoyed the explosive display - one of the biggest in the south.

The display celebrated music from the movies and families also enjoyed a range of attractions throughout the day, including a big wheel and popular gallopers before the display began.

More than 10,000 people enjoyed the event and bosses at the museum were delighted to see it so well-attended.

Spokeswoman for Beaulieu National Motor Museum Jane Riddiford said: “Record crowds turned out to see a spectacular display which this year celebrated music from the movies. We are already planning a bigger and better display for next year.

“It has continued to grow over the last 20 years as we put on bigger and more spectacular displays.”
