One of our traditions as a family is to visit a fireworks display. The boys love watching them light up the night skies. This year we are unlikely to be at home over bonfire night and therefore have been looking for firework displays in Suffolk. Many of the bonfire night events are organised by local charities, bonfire societies and small local communities. Therefore there is not always a huge amount of information available. If on reading this post you have more information on the firework displays in Suffolk or know of some others. Then please let me know and I will add their details to this article.
This year Guy Fawkes night falls over a weekend which means that many of the fireworks events will fall on Saturday the 4th of November. Those fireworks events with processions will lead to road closures. Please make sure you check these where you can before visiting.
