Bonfire Night 2022 in Leeds doesn't have to be remembered as the Guy Fawkes Night when everything was cancelled.
Cash-strapped Leeds City Council may have had to cancel all six of its municipal firework displays. But it doesn't mean Bonfire Night 2022 in Leeds has to be a damp squib.
There are still privately organised bonfires and firework displays across the city which you can attend for a small fee – and sometimes for free. All these events offer impressive displays while some include nice little extras such as fairground rides, discos and more.

These displays should make your Bonfire Night go with more than a bang. A lot of bangs. And showers of multicoloured sparks. And some pie, peas and parkin. You get the idea.
