Details: Rudy Millard gives you a comprehensive list of Bristol Firework Displays

Okay, so it's not quite Bonfire Night just yet. Be that as it may, already firework shops around Bristol are starting to have their shelves pulled to pieces as the city gears up to go firework crazy. Exploding powder season will soon be in full swing. If you like your celebrations to be a little organized and a lot safe, cast your eyes down this list to see the firework displays are happening in and around Bristol.

Unfortunately the big Bristol firework display that's usually held at the Downs has been cancelled. Organisers Bristol Round Table and Clifton Rotary Club report that insufficient donations were collected during the event last year, as bad weather reduced attendance numbers from the usual 15,000 people to around 3,500. However there are still a few displays happening across Bristol where you can chuck some money in a bucket for a good cause. Make sure that you eat a jacket potato too!
