The Best Bonfire Night Events in Merseyside for 2025
Bonfire Night in Merseyside isn’t exactly a low-key affair. This is a region that loves a good display — the bigger, brighter and louder, the better. From riverside shows that light up the Mersey to cracking community bonfires with proper old-school charm, there’s plenty to get excited about this year.
Whether you fancy braving a big-ticket event with thousands of others or prefer a local display with hot chocolate and muddy wellies, Merseyside’s got you covered. Here’s our pick of the best Bonfire Night events for 2025 — wrap up warm, pick your spot, and get ready for some serious fireworks.
Day of the Dead Festival

Where: Adventure Coast, Marine Dr, Southport PR8 1RX
Tickets: From £15
Adventure Coast Southport is turning up the heat this Bonfire season with a Mexican twist. The Day of the Dead Festival returns for three nights of fiery fun — think sugar skulls, stilt walkers, flame throwers and a wall of drumming that’ll rattle your ribcage (in a good way). This isn’t your standard bonfire bash. It’s a full-blown fiesta with live performances, carnival beats and jaw-dropping fire shows, all wrapped up with a spectacular fireworks finale over the park.
Fletcher’s Firework Party
When: Saturday 8th November 2025
Where: Allerton Manor Golf Club, Allerton Rd, Allerton, Liverpool L18 3JT
Tickets: £10
Fletcher’s is lighting up the night with their ultimate Fireworks Party Special — and it’s shaping up to be a belter. Expect a buzzing marquee, live DJ, flowing drinks, street food that actually hits the spot, and a cracking fireworks display over the golf course.
From The Ground Comes Light
When: Wednesday 5th November 2025
Where: Totally Wicked Stadium, McManus Dr, Peasley Cross Ln, Saint Helens WA9 3AL
Tickets: Adult: £11, Child: £6
Lighting up St Helens once again with a night of big entertainment, dazzling lights and a cracking pyrotechnic display.

Hot food and drinks will be flowing from the kiosks, so you can settle in for the full show without going hungry.
Gulliver’s World, Warrington
When: Saturday, 1st November 2025
Where: Gulliver's World, Warrington, Cheshire, WA5 9YZ
Tickets: from £26
If you fancy a day of rides followed by a bit of sky-painting, Gulliver’s World has you sorted. The park’s staying open until 6.30pm, with a firework display lined up to cap off the fun. Your ticket will get you your fill of rides and fireworks, but if you want to push the boat out, there’s a ‘Fireworks Feast’ package, which throws in some stage entertainment and grub. It’s a solid plan for a family day out – just watch out for that post-candyfloss sugar crash.

This is set to bring big sparks and even bigger smiles, with a glowing bonfire, a professional fireworks display by The UK Firework Company, and plenty of family fun. Expect a proper fairground vibe with rides including a merry-go-round and funhouse, plus axe throwing courtesy of Timber Jacks for anyone feeling a bit competitive. It’s a classic Bonfire Night out — all the spectacle, plenty to do, and a proper community atmosphere.

This annual Fireworks Extravaganza promises a full night of entertainment, with Mighty Radio’s Trevor Ford spinning the tunes live and plenty to keep everyone busy before the big display. There’ll be bouncy castles, fairground rides, BBQ bites, pizza, an outdoor bar, and the clubhouse kitchen and bar in full swing. Whether you’re here for the fireworks, the food or just a cracking atmosphere, this one ticks all the boxes.
How To Plan Your Bonfire Night Like A Pro
Before you head out into the night, a bit of planning goes a long way — especially with crowds and cold weather in the mix. Here are a few quick tips to make sure the only sparks flying are the ones in the sky:
-
Book early: The most popular fireworks displays regularly sell out weeks in advance.
-
Arrive on time: Gates often open well before the fireworks start, so you can snag a good viewing spot (and avoid car park chaos).
-
Dress for the weather: Think layers, boots and gloves. You’ll be standing around, and it gets cold fast once the sun goes down.
Bonfire Night Safety Reminder
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement, but safety should never take a back seat. Always follow event rules and keep a safe distance from the fireworks and bonfire areas.
If you’re heading to a display with little ones, consider bringing ear defenders — especially for younger kids who might be startled by the noise.
And if you’re planning your own back garden fireworks display, check local council rules on noise curfews and safety distances.
