One month to go, so it’s time to start plotting how we shall remember the downfall of a papist plot, and watch the skies over London explode with fireworks. And in a few locations, the display still includes the traditional bonfire as well.
This year is also a good one as Guy Fawkes Night is on a Friday, so there’s a handful of venues having fireworks on Friday, with loads more on the Saturday and Sunday evenings, so with planning, you could have a whole weekend of fireworks and bonfires.
Most of them need booking in advance this year with few offering tickets on the night. Also, some venues are still not confirming details until closer to the date.
Any errors/updates, please add them in the comments below.

With focus on the environment, isn’t it time somebody replaced fireworks displays with LED lightshows — and banned bonfires altogether … ?
We should be working in a world where we minimise impact, but preferably while also keeping life relatively enjoyable as well – banning all the small nice things won’t make the planet greener when there are so many big impacts that need to be dealt with.
In fact, arguably, increased levels of soot in the atmosphere temporarily reduces solar gain, although it’s debatable as to whether that would offset the carbon impact of the firework production cycle.
