This year, Horsham looks to celebrate Fireworks Night in style, with events starting as early as 21st October. Also known as Bonfire Night, the British tradition can be dated back to the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 when Guy Fawkes failed to blow up the houses of Parliament and King James I.

This year don your winter coats and hats and pick up some seasonal beverages at some of the amazing fireworks nights around the district!

Events are in chronological date order. If there’s an event we’ve missed please comment and let our readers know!
