A WEEKEND firework display in Wotton Bassett made a £600 loss.
The low turnout disappointed organisers, voluntary organisation Woodshaw Entertainers.
Despite the cancellation of many other displays, including Lydiard Park's, the Wootton Bassett bonfire, fireworks and barbecue went ahead at the Canal Field, off Marlborough Road.
Woodshaw Entertainers' chairman Mike Holmes said: "We expected a much bigger crowd, but with so many displays were being cancelled, we think people just went out and bought their own fireworks.''
The volunteers, who put on social events for local people, had another setback on Sunday when The Wurzels could not reach Wootton Bassett to star at the Memorial Hall.
