A FIREWORKS event in Wrexham has been cancelled due to "issues beyond the control" of the organisers. 

The inaugural Wrexham Fireworks Spectacular took place last November to high acclaim - with thousands of people attending at the Rock the Park site in Holt. 

The 30-minute display included lights and lasers which was set to music, and there was live music throughout the event. 

However, Rock the Park Ltd, which runs the event, has announced that this year's Fireworks Spectacular on November 4 won't be going ahead.
