Cardiff's annual Sparks in the Park fireworks show has been cancelled "for the foreseeable future" due to the rising cost of running the event. Sparks in the Park has been running since 1981 and purports to be the largest regular annual fireworks display in Wales.
The event's organisers, Cardiff Round Table, announced the cancellation on Facebook. In a statement, they said: "It is with great sadness that Cardiff Round Table and Sparks Cardiff Charitable Trust announce the cancellation of Sparks in the Park 2022 and for the foreseeable future.
"Unfortunately, over the past few years we have faced escalating costs and organisational burdens, the same as so many of us have been feeling. As a purely volunteer driven event, where all profits raised are donated to local charities and good causes, it is no longer feasible for us to put on an event of this scale.
