PERFORMANCES by characters from hit Disney film Frozen, a funfair and live music will precede a town's Fireworks Spectacular on Wednesday.

Hartlepool's annual fireworks and music event takes place at Seaton Carew seafront near the bus station and clock tower on November 5.

This year's theme is "Fire and Ice" and a children's funfair will be on from 4pm. Live music from local group Red Dreams will follow at 5pm, then the Frozen characters will appear. The fireworks start at 6.30pm.

A charged park and ride bus service is operating from the bus stop in front of Hartlepool's Maritime Experience in Marina Way from 5-6pm, with buses returning from Seaton between 7 and 8.10pm.

Comperes for the entertainment will be BBC Tees presenters Mike Parr and Paul ‘Goffy’ Gough.
