Bonfire Night 2022 fireworks in Yorkshire: Firework displays and Bonfire Night events taking place in Yorkshire on November 5

Bonfire Night is celebrated every year on a weekend - this year the weekend falls on the exact date of Guy Fawkes’ Night. Friends and families across the country gather in various locations in the UK to observe the fireworks and treat themselves to some food and hot drinks.

Each venue hosts its own event that include food and drink stalls, live music, radio shows, fireworks and a bonfire display. Some are family-friendly and pet-friendly. Despite Leeds City Council cancelling six of its public firework displays this year, many other councils and local businesses are going through with their events.

Yorkshire locals can look forward to a variety of fun-packed activities, many of which are free to attend.
