Bonfire Night and Fireworks Events at England's Vineyards

Published 21/09/2026

Bonfire Night falls on 5 November, and a handful of English vineyards mark it with fireworks over the vines, often with a bonfire, hot food and something warming to drink. This guide lists the events vineyards have announced so far, updated as new ones are confirmed, along with some from last year to show what to expect.

What Makes a Vineyard Good for Bonfire Night and Fireworks Events

Bonfire Night is a good excuse for a glass of something sparkling, and an English vineyard is a fitting place to have one while the fireworks go up. Most build the evening around food and a drink, with the vines as a backdrop.

In previous years, some have gone for a full evening out. West Sussex's Leonardslee has run fireworks over the vineyards with live music and street food, plus a VIP option of bubbly, canapés and a two-course dinner. In the Vale of Glamorgan, Llanerch has set its display to a musical score and light show, with a live band and circus performers.

Others have kept it simple. Northamptonshire's New Lodge has run Fireworks & Feast, with a grazing box, a soup station and a BBQ, and Norfolk's Burn Valley has held a fireworks party with hot food and marshmallows to roast.

The events have clustered around the first weekend of November rather than the 5th itself. They're ticketed with a limited capacity, and at least one night has been fully booked, so it's worth booking as soon as dates are announced. Sign up for our emails below and we'll let you know as soon as events are listed.

FAQ

Which vineyards have Bonfire Night events?
So far only a small number of vineyards have held or listed Bonfire Night events: Leonardslee in West Sussex, Llanerch in the Vale of Glamorgan, New Lodge in Northamptonshire, Burn Valley in Norfolk and Sealwood in Derbyshire. They're all listed above, grouped by county. We'll keep this guide updated as more are announced, and you can sign up for our newsletter to hear about new dates as they're confirmed.
Which vineyards are best for Bonfire Night events?
It depends on the evening you want. For dinner before the fireworks, start with our guide to vineyards with restaurants. If the kids are coming, see the child-friendly vineyards. To make a night of it, vineyards with accommodation let you stay over.
Can I bring my dog to a vineyard fireworks night?
Fireworks events are definitely not for dogs. The noise frightens most of them. If a vineyard runs a Bonfire Night event without fireworks, check with them before you book. An evening in the dark with a live fire is harder to manage with dogs around, so even vineyards that are normally dog friendly may have restrictions. For a daytime visit with your dog, see our dog-friendly vineyards.
Are vineyard Bonfire Night events suitable for children?
Some have been billed as family evenings. Llanerch has described its display as family-friendly, and Leonardslee has sold separate children's tickets. Leonardslee's VIP dinner is a separate ticket, so check each listing before booking.
Are the events on 5 November?
Sometimes, but when 5 November falls midweek vineyards tend to move to the nearest Friday or Saturday. In previous years, when the 5th was a Wednesday, events ran on the Saturday before and the Friday and Saturday after. In a year when the 5th falls on a weekend, events are more likely on the day itself.
