Bonfire Night - Don Valley Bowl

Bonfire Night comes to the Don Valley Bowl in Attercliffe on Thursday 5 November, from 4pm to 9pm. It's being put on by Events Collective, the same team behind Illuminate the Gardens, which ran for eight years, and it's billed as one of Sheffield's biggest fireworks events of 2026.

It's an outdoor night, so the whole thing stays under the open sky at the Bowl. The organisers describe it as an inclusive and welcoming space, and they've built the evening around more than just the fireworks. There's live entertainment, music, and food and drink vendors running throughout the night, so it's a full evening rather than just a quick trip for the display. You can arrive early, grab something to eat, and hang around while the music goes on, rather than just showing up for the finale.

That finale is the main event: a grand fireworks display at 9pm, set to music and paired with a laser show. It's the big finish that the rest of the night builds towards, and it's what brings the whole thing together. The Bowl is in Attercliffe, so it's over on the east side of the city, and the whole thing runs from 4pm right through to that 9pm display.

Tickets are £15 for adults and £7.50 for kids, both plus a booking fee, and under-3s get in free. With the music, the food, and the fireworks all in one spot, it's a proper night out rather than just a quick look at the sky.
