It’s bonfire and firework season, a time to gaze in awe as colourful bursts light up the sky in and around Exeter. Round up the family and friends as here’s our guide on where to catch all the explosive action…

Westpoint Exeter

Saturday 2nd November - gates open 5:30pm

You can always expect the fireworks at Westpoint Exeter to go off with a bang and this year's big show is certainly no different. The main event will see a spectacular pyrotechnical firework display, from the 2022 British Champions, synchronised to the music from the Greatest Showman and hosted by Radio Exe. All the fun of the fair, there'll also be lots of family-friendly rides, various catering outlets, bars and indoor toilets.

Make sure you book in advance as no tickets will be available on the night.

Stuart Line Cruises

Friday 1st November - 7pm

Sail the calm water of the River Exe and enjoy an uninterrupted view of the shoreline on board Stuart Line Cruises. You'll get to marvel at the colours of all the displays that take place from the snug comfort of their heated lower deck or cozily wrapped up with a blanket on the upper deck. Stay warm with a hot Chunk of Devon pasty (available by pre-order only), organic soup and hot drinks, or treat yourself at the onboard bar.

Woodbury Park

Make it a night to remember and head to Woodbury Park for an enchanting evening filled with entertainment for all the family. From a bouncy castle to glitter face painting, the fireworks display promises to be an unforgettable night.
