The Ultimate Guide to Fireworks Displays in Cornwall 2025

Where to watch the sky light up in Cornwall this Bonfire Night season

Every November, towns and villages across Cornwall come alive with the crackle of bonfires and the sparkle of fireworks in celebration of Bonfire Night – the annual tradition marking the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605. While the story began in London, Cornwall has long made it its own, with coastal bonfires, beach gatherings and community events lighting up the autumn skies.

This year’s line-up is one of the best yet, with displays running from late October through to mid-November. Whether you’re after a big family night out, a charity bonfire, or something quieter for little ones, here’s the full list of confirmed fireworks displays in Cornwall for 2025.
