THE evenings are getting longer, and the days are turning colder, with the nights starting to draw in.

This means that Bonfire Night is just around the corner. Everyone loves a good firework display, where you can gather family and friends, wrap up warm, and head out with a cup of hot chocolate to watch those magnificent displays light up the dark night sky.

Unfortunately, there are still some events that are cancelled this year, including two of the three that were cancelled in 2022. 

With that in mind, here are some of the best firework displays happening across Gwent this year.

For the second year, Octopus Lounge Bistro is being joined by the Circus of Positivity for Bonfire Night.

The team will light the bonfire with their LED and glow equipment.
