Winchester Bonfire and Fireworks

Winchester Round Table runs the city's bonfire and fireworks at North Walls Recreation Ground. The evening starts with a torchlit procession up the High Street, and the Mayor of Winchester lights the bonfire before the display. Proceeds after costs go to local good causes.

Wristband tickets are needed to enter the display ground, and everyone in a group needs their own, including children in pushchairs. Babies carried in arms are exempt. The torchlit procession is free to join, and wax torches are sold along the route.Directions
