HUNDREDS of people descended on Barry Island at the weekend to give the Weekenders programme a fiery start.

The Isle of Fire transformed the resort as part of a series of six themed spectaculars throughout the summer, to welcome visitors.

This year’s the Fire Garden included a flaming cauldron that snaked its way down the promenade throughout the evening’s events.

Accompanying the flames were Spark!, a band of high impact drummers, whose LED costumes changed colours throughout their performance. Their choreography and drumming, was enjoyed by the crowds.
