Guaranteed to go off with a bang, one of the biggest free events in town – courtesy of the city council – is Bonfire Night on Midsummer Common.
The fireworks are at 7pm on 5 November, with a huge selection of food stalls open from 6pm, so there’s no need to dash home from work first to grab a bite. Each year the sky is transformed into a breathtaking kaleidoscope of colour, with a sonic crackle and pop to match.
The bonfire will be lit after the firework display, and for further thrillseekers, there’s the fairground too, which like the food stalls, runs till 10pm.
