Remember, remember the fifth of November… 🎆
Every year, towns and cities across the UK light up the skies to mark Bonfire Night, a tradition dating back to 1605, when Guy Fawkes’ failed Gunpowder Plot was foiled. Today, it’s all about family fun, fireworks, and cosy autumn evenings spent together.
If you’re wondering where to catch the best fireworks displays around Kingston this year, we’ve rounded up the family-friendly options within easy reach.
There are displays happening from the end of October right through to mid-November, so whether you have little ones who need an earlier display or you’re happy to stay out a little later, there are plenty of options.
