A clean up was under way on Thursday, the morning after this year’s edition of an event where people run through the streets carrying flaming barrels of tar.
The Ottery St Mary Tar Barrels attracted 20,000 people, more than doubling the size of the rural Devon town, on Wednesday evening.
The festivities did not finish until just after midnight, with roads reopened at 01:00 GMT on Thursday.
The clean up started as soon as the event finished, with a number of volunteers working to return the streets to normality.
