Tips for Bonfire Night

Get there early and park well. Llandudno and Colwyn Bay get very busy. In Llandudno the big car parks are a short walk from North Shore, see our Llandudno parking guide. Wrap up warm, take a torch and check the weather alerts before you go.Pets. Bring dogs and cats in before dark, close curtains and leave a radio or TV on. Abergele starts with a low-noise display if you have nervous little ones.Fireworks at home. In the UK it is illegal to set off fireworks between 11pm and 7am, except on Bonfire Night (midnight), and New Year's Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year (1am). You must be 18 to buy them. An organised display is safer, cheaper and usually better.Looking for more to do this half term?
