Bonfire night has long been a tradition across the UK thanks to the history of Guy Fawkes.
Now, we often associate bonfire night as being a little more fun – with firework displays, hot dogs and sparklers lighting up the dark skies.
Whether you are looking for a family friendly event that promises to provide a quieter experience for the younger ones, or you’re after a much more immersive experience, we’ve put together this handy guide of all the bonfire events across the Yorkshire coast.
