The incident unfolded at an event hosted by Stone Swynnerton Park Cricket Club, in Stone, which is thought to have been attended by around 3,000 people.
Eyewitness reports suggest that fireworks veered off course and into the crowd at around 7am, hitting approximately six people.
Another witness, Michael Jones, said: "It hit the family standing right beside us. We felt the heat as it came into us. My son's hood is singed."Another woman described how she had to 'throw' her daughter out of the way after a firework 'came right at' her and her partner and two children. Karen Bowen said: "One firework took off across the grass and exploded in front of a warden and then two or three fireworks followed across the grass and exploded into the crowd. It was dangerous so we left immediately."
Harriet Shepherd said: "It was other side to where we were but we did leave soon after as we were all scared."
