Where to Photograph Firework Displays

We are attempting to list all places where photographers can photograph major Firework Displays within the UK. The most obvious times for public firework displays in the UK is around November 5th (Guy Fawkes Night) and New Year, most notable in Edinburgh and London. In the date column we have included the month they take place rather than the actual date, this way we don't have to try to update it each year, most of the events listed for November take place around November 5th, UK bonfire night. It is however always worth checking locally before attending to make sure it is still taking place and the exact date.

We have tried to list the larger displays here around the UK, rather than every village display. However if your village or town runs a spectacular display that you think photographers would like to photograph, then do let us know and we can add it to this list. This is the start of a list that will both grow over time and hopefully we will be able to add more columns or information. However there are other displays taking place throughout the year and those we have been able to identify we have listed here, but again please let us know if you are aware of any that are not listed.

We have further listings looking at Fire Festivals and Illuminated events such as carnivals and woodland displays.

Where the names in the first column is hyperlinked this links to a Location page with more information on this site and over time more of these will be added, we will be delighted if some of you would like to also produce location pages.
