Bonfire Night is upon us once again and many friends and families will be wondering where their closest display and event may be. Luckily for us here in Bristol and the surrounding area, there are plenty of displays, parties and other events to choose from.
Whether it be loud bangs or quieter displays, replacing the fireworks with music, having a party, a bonfire, and lots of delicious food and drink – we have it all. What’s more, they begin as early as October 31 this year and end as late as November 8.
