Bonfire Night, or Guy Fawkes Night, is 5 November every year.

Organised displays usually run on the nearest Saturday, and the big ones sell tickets in advance. The reminder that helps is a week before, to buy tickets and check the dog is sorted.

Fireworks in the UK are legal until midnight on 5 November itself, 11pm on other nights.
