We've not had Halloween yet but as the weather gets colder and the trick or treat confectionary fills the supermarket shelves it is hard not to turn our attention to Bonfire Night. It's a good thing too as many of the events sell out each year so if you want your first choice of display it is best to plan ahead.
Whether you are looking for your local display or one of the bigger events you will find them all here, as we add more and more throughout October. All the events are organised in date order, so it should be easy to find one which suits your schedule.
This year Bonfire Night falls on a Saturday so there are bound to be lots of events on the day itself and throughout the weekend.

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.
