Where to spend Bonfire Night in Birmingham

Whether you live in Birmingham or are local to the surrounding towns, the skies will be lit up in a mesmeric fashion this Bonfire Weekend, and we want you to be there, mouths agape, warmed by the bonfire, as you watch the explosions in the sky. 

However, you may be stuck on where to watch the fireworks in Birmingham. Well, right here on Skiddle, we have a great array of events, both in the city and further afield (as we know travelling into the city may not be for everyone), that you, your pals, or your loved ones can all attend together to celebrate the annual tradition.

So, without further ado, let's light the match and shoot off to one of these sensational firework displays in Birmingham!

Four Oaks Bonfire & Fireworks 

When: Saturday 9th November 2024

Where: Four Oaks Cricket Club in Birmingham 

Four Oaks CC is back to make Bonfire Night in Birmingham another belter this year. Boasting two fireworks displays and other thrills, it’s looking smashing. Gates open at 6pm before the bonfire’s lit at 6:30pm. Then, the first fireworks display starts at 7:30, followed by the second at 8:15pm. In between the main attractions for the night, there’ll be a fun fair for the kids, a licensed bar, and hot foot marquees. Under 5s go free! 

Rubery’s Annual Bonfire & Firework Extravaganza  

When: Friday 8th November 2024

Where: Rubery & Community Leisure Centre in Birmingham 

Rubery Leisure Centre brings us a large bonfire alongside one of the best firework displays in Birmingham this year. To make a proper night of it, small local businesses will set up stalls, and there’ll be face painting, hot food, sweets, cakes, and a doughnut trailer. 

Arden Firework Festival

When: Saturday 9th November 2024

Where: Arden Academy in Solihull 

Arden Academy brings two brilliant fireworks displays to Solihull this year. The evening kicks off with a sound-sensitive display for the littluns and those who prefer a quieter experience, and then the main display takes centre stage. They’ll have a raffle, local food trucks (with food you can pre-order at discounted prices), games, hot drinks, mulled wine, real ale, and more. Tickets are cheaper if you buy in advance. 

Sutton Coldfield RFC Bonfire & Fireworks 

When: Tuesday 5th November 2024 

Where: Sutton Coldfield RFC in Birmingham 

All about family-friendly fun, Sutton Coldfield RFC is coming thorough with its annual bash, where the bonfire will be lit at 6:30pm, followed by the fireworks display at 7:30pm. Claiming to have “possibly the largest bonfire in Brum”, you’ll have to get over there and check it out for yourself. There'll be no alcohol on site but there will be other food and drink plus a funfair. Some vendors only accept cash so you might want to stop by a cash machine on the way. 

Sandwell Fire Garden

When: Friday 8th and Saturday 9th November 2024

Where: Sandwell Valley Victorian Garden in Birmingham 

If you fancy something a bit different, this Bonfire Night, Sandwell Valley Visitor Centre, bordering Birmingham and West Bromwich, brings a wonderland of fire sculptures and visual artistry to the Midlands. Multiple half-hour sessions are available so you can roam at your own pace as you take in animated fire sculptures including the fire-breathing copper flowers, scorching sculpture trees, and more. There'll be a night market, food vendors, and local stalls.
