Posted: Thu, 12th Oct 2023
Sparklers on Bonfire Night

Mark Guy Fawkes Night on 5 November with these magical bonfire and fireworks displays throughout the Cotswolds and beyond.

As the nights draw in, thoughts turn to huddling around a bonfire with a mug of hot chocolate while dazzling fireworks displays light up the skies overhead, and there are plenty of places to do just that throughout the Cotswolds, Bath and Oxford. Remember to make a note of these Bonfire Night events on and around 5 November 2023 for a Bonfire Night you won’t forget.
