The champagne flowed as Bonds Bar celebrated its first anniversary in style.
VIP guests were invited to the bar on the Festival Leisure Park in Basildon as part of a thank-you event for those who have helped the first year go so well.
Site secretary Claire Howard said the evening seemed to go down well with all those who went along.
She said: "It went really well, it exceeded my expectations.
"It was a big thank-you party for everybody who has helped out over the past year.
"I would like to thank all those involved who couldn't make it and we look forward to the next year being equally successful."
After the celebrations at Bonds all the guests were invited to go along to Jumpin Jacks or the Ikon and Diva complex at the leisure park to continue the fun.
