Bonfire Night Yorkshire | The Best Bonfires to visit in 2026
Feast and Fireworks, Bolton Abbey
Enjoy an evening of incredible food and beautiful fireworks hosted at the Devonshire Arms on the picturesque Bolton Abbey estate. The evening begins with beautiful canapes followed by a three-course menu featuring homegrown autumn recipes.
After indulging in some seasonal dishes, like their braised short rib, pommes Anna, and béarnaise, sit back and enjoy the fireworks display to close the evening. The perfect foodie firework event for Bonfire Night.
Where? Bolton Bridge, Skipton BD23 6AJ
Canon Hall Farm, Barnsley
Barnsley’s favourite farm is always hosting something exciting, whether it’s pumpkin picking in the Autumn or lambing in the Spring! For Bonfire Night this year, they’re back with an amazing firework display for the whole family.
On Sunday 1st November, events will begin with a bonfire at 5 pm and fireworks at 6 pm. The fireworks are a quieter display so as not to disturb the animals, but make for a great family-friendly occasion. Do make sure to book your tickets beforehand!
Where? Bark House Ln, Cawthorne, Barnsley S75 4AT
Myrtle Tavern, Leeds
The Myrtle Tavern is known for going all out when it comes to festivities, and its Bonfire Night celebrations are a big date in the calendar.
Expect a lively evening with a spectacular fireworks display, plenty of food and drink, and the sort of atmosphere that makes this popular Meanwood pub a local favourite. Tickets for this year’s event have already sold out, but it’s well worth keeping an eye out for anymore.
Where? Myrtle Tavern, Parkside Rd, Meanwood, Leeds LS6 4NE
Harrogate Stray Charity Bonfire, Harrogate
