Bonfire Night and firework events happening after November 5 and this weekend around Birmingham

If you haven't had chance to make it to a fireworks event yet, don't worry. As Bonfire Night falls on a school night this year - Tuesday - lots of organisers are choosing to host their displays at the weekend instead.

This is ideal for anyone who went away during the half term holidays. There's no need to miss out on the fun as you can still tuck into cosy food and drinks, marvel as the skies light up with fireworks displays and even enjoy live music and fairground rides in some places.

Some tickets have already sold out but, when we looked on Tuesday, November 5, there were still tickets available to events happening in Rubery, Wolverhampton, Four Oaks, Sandwell, Kings Norton and Kings Heath. Many venues require pre-booking with no tickets available to buy on the gate so it's best to check ahead to avoid disappointment.
