Tips for Making the Most of Bonfire Night
Dress warmly - it can be cold, damp and muddy (wear wellies)!
Check parking & travel plans - many venues restrict on-site parking or use remote lots/shuttle buses.
Book in advance - some events (e.g. Kenilworth) are ticket-only with no gate sales.
Noise-sensitive guests? - For younger children or those sensitive to loud bangs, the Dallas Burston children’s display or earlier shows at Warwick may be better options.
Safety first - no personal fireworks/sparklers allowed at certain shows (e.g. Kenilworth)
