FAQs on Manchester Fireworks

The three free council displays are at Heaton Park in north Manchester, Wythenshawe Park in the south and Platt Fields Park in Fallowfield, all on Saturday 7 November 2026. Pick the park closest to you, then book a JustPark space in the surrounding streets, such as Prestwich or Crumpsall for Heaton Park, Northenden for Wythenshawe Park, or Fallowfield and Rusholme for Platt Fields Park, and walk in.

Book a space in the streets around whichever park you're heading to and walk in: Prestwich, Crumpsall or Blackley for Heaton Park, Northenden for Wythenshawe Park, and Fallowfield or Rusholme for Platt Fields Park. Parking a short walk away helps you avoid the busiest roads by the gates and head straight off once the display ends.

Not that's been announced. Before the council's displays were paused after 2019, Heaton Park's Bonfire Night included a giant bonfire, but the 2026 event has so far been announced with fireworks only: a reduced-noise display at 5pm, the main show at 8pm and a lantern parade beforehand. Check Manchester City Council's events page closer to the date in case a bonfire is added.

Platt Fields Park's Bonfire Night event takes place on Saturday 7 November 2026, with a reduced-noise display at 5pm for families and SEND audiences, a lantern parade and the main fireworks show at 8pm. The park sits in Fallowfield, close to the student areas, so the surrounding streets get busy on the night. Booking a JustPark space ahead lets you lock in a spot a short walk from the park.

Wythenshawe Park's Bonfire Night event takes place on Saturday 7 November 2026, with a reduced-noise display at 5pm for families and SEND audiences, a family lantern parade and the main fireworks show at 8pm.

Booking a JustPark space around Northenden ahead of time lets you lock in a spot a short walk from the park.
