Eight people got stuck in a hotel lift while enjoying a night out in town.

Fire fighters were called to the Travelodge, in St Peter’s Street, after the lift got stuck a foot beneath the first floor on Saturday.

One engine was sent to free the group, who were all in their late teens and early 20s.

It arrived at 9.50pm and it took a little over 30 minutes for the crew to open the door.

No one suffered any injuries.
