Hide AdAnd scorching temperatures of more than 30C on a number of days throughout the school summer holidays saw families turn out to join in the fun.
But the event drew to a close on Tuesday after attracting thousands of visitors to the city centre.
Fairground rides, hook-a-duck and the huge pop-up sand pit all proved popular with youngsters over the last six weeks.
Parents were able to kick back and relax in the huge deck chairs before challenging their children to a game of mini-golf.
And one of the most popular attractions this year, given the weather, was the chance to cool off in the Peace Gardens water fountains.
No details have yet been released for next year's event.
