2nd November 2023Hull Fireworks 2023 – the best Bonfire Night displays around East Yorkshire
Bonfire Night 2023 will see stunning fireworks displays in Hull and across East Yorkshire, from a huge event at Hull KR’s Craven Park, to a world-class fireworks spectacular in Driffield.
The onset of colder, frosty nights with starry skies can only mean one thing – it’s time to get wrapped up, to head out into the darkness and to thrill at dazzling firework displays and roaring bonfires on Guy Fawkes Night. And it’s a good idea to look into the various organised celebrations that will be taking place near you, knowing everything will be safely taken care of for you and your family.
From the annual extravaganza at Brantingham Park, to the hugely popular Hull Wyke Round Table event in Swanland, there are loads of local fireworks events to choose from. Hull Live has prepared a round-up of the many fireworks displays taking place in and around Bonfire Night.
November 5 falls on a Sunday this year, but the parties start as early as Saturday, October 28, with a musical fireworks spectacular at Sledmere House. The following weekend, fireworks displays are being held around the region, including in Beverley, Bridlington, Brough and many more.
If you are aware of a Guy Fawkes’ Night event we haven’t included and you think needs a mention, email reporter Deborah Hall and we will do our best do add it. Check out our Bonfire Night blog below for the latest updates.
