With autumn in full swing, there are plenty of occasions to look forward to. After Halloween comes the excitement of Bonfire Night – even if the origins are somewhat complicated – meaning families and friends can come together for an explosive evening of pyrotechnics. And with lots going on across Greater Manchester, we’ve collated some of the best firework displays and celebrations to keep you entertained this Bonfire Night.
Manchester City Council fireworks
After a five-year hiatus, Bonfire Night celebrations return to the city. Wythenshawe Park, Heaton Park, and Platt Fields Park host the massive evening, lighting up the dark autumn skies with sweeping firework displays.
The night kicks off with early low-impact fireworks designed specifically for families and SEND audiences, before the main spectacles take over. You can also catch lantern parades winding through the parks just ahead of the late displays, following weeks of local lantern-making workshops.
Fireworks begin: low-impact at 5pm, main at 8pm
