Whether you live in Birmingham or are local to the surrounding towns, the skies will be lit up in a mesmeric fashion this Bonfire Weekend, and we want you to be there, mouths agape, warmed by the bonfire, as you watch the explosions in the sky. 

However, you may be stuck on where to watch the fireworks in Birmingham. Well, right here on Skiddle, we have a great array of events, both in the city and further afield (as we know travelling into the city may not be for everyone), that you, your pals, or your loved ones can all attend together to celebrate the annual tradition.

So, without further ado, let's light the match and shoot off to one of these sensational firework displays in Birmingham!
