All the Bonfire Night events and firework displays for 2019 in and around Bristol

The nights are drawing in, it is officially okay to have the heating on at home, and Halloween is this month.

This means Bonfire Night is just a few short weeks away and - while some people choose to hold their own event - it is recommended you attend an organised fireworks display or bonfire as they are statistical much safer.

And in Bristol, and surrounding areas, we are spoilt for choice.

Whether you are looking for your local display, or one of the bigger events, this list should give you everything you need.

Here are all the displays you need to know about in Bristol,  South Gloucestershire , North Somerset , and Bath and North East Somerset.

All the events have been organised by date and we will keep updating this article with more and more displays as they are sent to us so we hope you find one near you.

If you would rather stay at home and have your own firework display or bonfire, don't forget to read up on the rules and safety advice.

Organising a Bonfire Night event you want us to list? Send us the information and we will add your event to our listings. Remember, we need to know the location, dates and times, prices, if tickets are available in advance or on the gate, what time the fireworks start and if parking is available.
