Bonfire Night North Wales 2026
On the 5th of November 1605, Guy Fawkes was arrested guarding explosives beneath the House of Lords in an attempt to kill King James I. Across the capital, bonfires were lit in celebration of the King’s survival — and the tradition has continued ever since.
Below are details of some of the best fireworks displays happening across North Wales this year. With events spread across the whole weekend, you could even attend more than one…
Llandudno Firework Display 2026
Where? Llandudno Pier, North Shore Promenade, Llandudno, Conwy, LL30 2LG
When? Tuesday 27th October 2026 at 7pm
The iconic Llandudno Pier on the North Shore is the setting for this stunning display – one of our favourites in the whole of North Wales!
The October date is chosen each year to take advantage of the most favourable tide conditions.
The display is free to watch (donations welcome). The Victoria Centre Car Park will remain open until 7:30pm, with disabled parking available. If weather is adverse, the display will be rescheduled for Wednesday 28th October at 7pm.

Beaumaris Fireworks 2026
Where? Beaumaris Pier, Beaumaris, LL58 8BS
When? Saturday 7th November
This display is incredibly popular and with good reason. Music, a bonfire & fireworks — this event has it all. The bonfire is lit in the early evening with the fireworks following shortly after, set off from the pier itself.
Entry last year was £5 per person with children under 12 going free, and all proceeds go towards funding the next event. Parking fills up quickly so it’s worth arriving early — there are plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby whilst you wait.
