Firework displays in 2020

Unfortunately due to the ongoing covid-19 pandemic, most of the usual firework displays and bonfire night activities that take place annually in Wiltshire have been cancelled in 2020. There are still a few events going ahead inline with covid safety procedures - and you can see details of these below. Need some inspiration for events and activities for bonfire night this year? Have a look at our suggestions for alternative things to do for Fireworks Night 2020 in Wiltshire.

Bonfire night events

Celebrate Bonfire night and enjoy a firework display in a beautiful setting in Wiltshire.

Most of the firework displays across the county are geared up for families. Sometimes there are ‘no big bangs’ displays which are perfectly suited for families with small children or pets, plus there are lots of local annual displays that Wiltshire families return to year after year.

Displays take place in most of our bigger towns across the county including Salisbury, Chippenham, Cricklade, Malmesbury, Bradford on Avon and Calne. You can find details of these bonfire night activities at the bottom of this page.

Longleat Fireworks

Fantastic fireworks happens every year in October and November. Longleat is a beautiful setting for a fireworks display.

Christmas fireworks events

All around the county at Christmas Light Switch on events there are usually fireworks displays getting you into the Christmas spirit. Sometimes you might even see a local celeb switch them on! Keep an eye out for these events when it gets closer to the time! 

Summer fireworks nights
