# Days until Bonfire Night 2026

> How many days until Bonfire Night 2026? Countdown to 5 November, and a WhatsApp reminder to book the fireworks display tickets before they sell out.

It falls on Thursday, November 5, 2026. 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.
