Manchester City Council may have cancelled a number of free annual Bonfire Night events featuring brilliant fireworks, but thankfully for us Mancs, there are few organisations in Greater Manchester here to save the day.
To celebrate the 5th November – or Guy Fawkes Night, to the rest of us – some parks and green spaces in and around Manchester are set to bring a literal bang, lighting up the skies with incredible fireworks displays that will surely fill the giant void left behind by Heaton Park’s beloved (and very, very cancelled) display. Check out where to watch the fireworks this Bonfire Night across Greater Manchester, both free and paid-entry.
