 We all look forward to a great bonfire and Firewok display, As winter “drawers” in and the leaves begin to fall, the nights are getting longer, we start to feel that autumn really has arrived.
However, the entertainment in Cheltenham doesn’t stop just because the weather changes, there is Guy Fawkes Night on the horizon with bonfires and firework displays all over Cheltenham and Gloucestershire on the 5th of November and on days around bonfire night. With many tragic injuries making the news over the last decades it is far better and less expensive to take the family to see an organised event where hot drinks and food and often entertainment are provided. Many of these official organisers spend thousands of pounds on their firework displays so it is bound to be a better display than one can put on at home.
Activ Cheltenham have listed below many of the major events in and around Cheltenham and Gloucestershire where displays can be enjoyed safely but if a home display is planned please follow the firework code found at the bottom of this page and on your fireworks.
The amazing annual Bonfire and Firework display takes place at Cheltenham Racecourse on Saturday 5th November 2011. Celebrating the gunpowder plot and Guy Faulkes the spectacular display will last over 30 minutes.
