Bonfire Night and Fireworks Events in Nottingham

*Updated for 2025*

There’s something special about Bonfire Night. Wrapping up warm in front of a roaring fire, watching fireworks and eating delicious treats is the perfect way to spend a November night!
While there aren’t as many displays as in previous years, I have scoured the web to find as many events as possible for 2025!
There should be something in every part of Notts plus a few just over the border into Derbyshire. Drop me a message if you’ve spotted anymore!
