The Firefly Night Market returned to Penrose Place on Saturday 20 September 2025, drawing thousands of locals for a vibrant celebration of culture and community.
Families enjoyed an evening filled with live music, dazzling performances, fire shows, roving entertainers, light installations and kids’ activities. More than 70 market stalls showcased unique creations from local makers, offering gifts, jewellery, art, clothing and sweet treats, while food trucks served up a delicious mix of food from around the globe.
This year’s highlights included the addition of a second stage, which was packed all night and ended with the crowd-favourite Samosa Slam eating competition which booked out quickly! A new second food zone was also buzzing, keeping up with strong demand throughout the evening.
The event was safe, enjoyable and inclusive, with a wonderful crowd atmosphere and no incidents, creating the perfect environment for people of all ages to come together and celebrate.
