Bonfire night & fireworks events in Petersfield
No need to travel far to enjoy Bonfire Night and fireworks this year. Petersfield and surrounds have plenty on to keep the whole family entertained. We’ve rounded up an exciting lineup of bonfire parties, firework displays and local eats to make this year’s 5th November memorable.
💥 Fun Fact: Did you know that Guy Fawkes Night has been celebrated in the UK since 1605, making it over 400 years old! Originally a date to celebrate the failed Gunpowder Plot, today we skip the plot and go straight to the party – with fireworks, bonfires, toffee apples and all.
