A nightclub in Swansea has smashed the world record for the number of people dressed as Smurfs.
The Oceana nightclub managed to fit in 2,510 people, all dressed as one of the blue cartoon characters.
Although perhaps hard to believe, the record has actually been attempted before, with the previous number being 1,253 Smurfs in the town of Castleblayney in County Monaghan, Ireland.
The rather bizarre record attempt was organised by UK fancy dress costume seller, Jokers’ Masquerade, and was mostly attended by students from the local University.
Rebecca Oatley, of Jokers’ Masquerade, said: “Smurf Guinness World Record holder has become an illustrious title.
“There have been five attempts over the last 18 months, with Swansea trumping Castleblayney’s 1,253 Smurfs recorded last year.
“We knew that if we were going to break the record, we had to do it in style and 2,510 Smurfs will be a tough act to follow for any budding record-breakers.”
It seems the costume sellers are not satisfied at only being the Smurf world record holders though and plan more record attempts in the future.
Rebecca added: “This is just the beginning of our world record run. We are hoping to set, break and smash Guinness World Records for iconic characters from Daleks to Superheroes. Watch this space.”
