The Best Bonfire Night and Firework Events in Cardiff

Bonfire Night in Cardiff is always a special occasion. With the picturesque seafront views offered at many Cardiff firework events, as well as the stunning view of Welsh mountain vistas around those further out of the city, it's truly one of the best places in the country to see the night sky painted in explosive colours.

The tradition of Bonfire Night is one of the nation's favourite Autumnal celebrations - families and friends stood side-by-side, mouths agape, warmed by the bonfire, enjoying some truly impressive displays with a hot drink in hand. 

Celebrate the 5th of November with friends and family at these Bonfire Night events in Cardiff.

When: Saturday 1st November 2025

Where: Llantrisant & Pontyclun Golf Club in Pontyclun

Another that’s not really in Cardiff but only about a half-hour drive away, this fireworks event looks ace, so we had to include it. Gradually becoming a favourite community event, the club hosts Bonfire Night celebrations with a bigger show than in previous years. There’ll be a DJ, a male voice choir, and food and drink vendors.

You just can’t beat Bonfire Night. It’s one of the best bits of the season that ushers in pitch-black night skies and chilly winds, and sprawls rouged leaves on the ground. All to be enjoyed with a cosy hot chocolate in hand.
