Bonfire night 2018


Bonfire Night 2018 | Events & Firework Displays Happening in Greater Manchester Tonight


The sky across Greater Manchester is set to sparkle with fireworks as we celebrate Bonfire night tonight.

Although some of the celebrations started over the weekend, there are still plenty of parks, pubs and community centres hosting a bonfire and firework displays tonight.

Bonfire night is a great time to bring family and friends together, whilst commemorating the failed gunpowder plot to blow up the House of Lords and kill King James I in 1605.

Although the 5th of November is a huge milestone in British history, many of us just like to get together and enjoy fireworks, fairground rides and loads of food.

So if you’re looking for an event to enjoy all of the above we’ve got you covered. We’ve rounded up a list of the best Bonfire night events happening across Manchester, Stockport and Tameside tonight.
