When Is Bonfire Night 2026 in Bradford?
Bonfire Night is Thursday 5 November 2026. Because it falls midweek, most Bradford displays are on Saturday 7 November. Odsal goes early on Wednesday 4 November, and Eldwick and Forged run on the 5th itself.
What Is the Biggest Fireworks Display in Bradford?
The Bradford Bulls Big Bang Spectacular at Odsal Stadium (Rooley Avenue, BD6 1BS) on Wednesday 4 November 2026. The event poster promises fireworks, live music, tribute acts and funfair rides. It’s the closest thing Bradford has to a city-wide display — book through the Bulls.
Something Different: Forged at Haworth
From 5 to 7 November, the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway runs Forged: a steam train ride through the Worth Valley followed by a live show where steam, fire, sound and light collide. A good pick if you want more than a standard fireworks display.
