Dazzling Bonfire Night events in the Cotswolds

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.

This year Bath Racecourse brings you a Night of Colour which encourages everyone to dress up in as many colours as possible to add to this spectacular event. There is a funfair with face painters, stilt walkers and jugglers before the main event when rockets, catherine wheels and fountains of colour are unleashed to the beats of the music. It will be a night of fun as the skies are lit up with all the colours of the rainbow.
