We’re now just over a week away from Bonfire Night, with plenty of displays taking place in Nottinghamshire over the next few days.
This year November 5 falls on a Wednesday, meaning that some events will be held this coming weekend, while others are scheduled for the following weekend.
Bonfire Night is traditionally held to commemorate the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, but these days it’s used by many as an excuse to meet friends and family while enjoying food and drink.
Regardless of your availability over the next week or so, there are dozens of spectacular firework displays in Nottinghamshire to choose from.
If you’re a family planning on attending an organised display, the cost of doing so can soon add up if there are a few of you.
But if you know where to go, Bonfire Night can be celebrated on a budget.
From pubs to social clubs, there are plenty of places across the county charging cheap entry fees for displays.
