Where: Alexandra Palace
How much: Adults £2, children £1.50

Cardiff
The Cardiff Round Table fireworks display is the biggest in Wales and has dramatic Cardiff castle as a backdrop.

When: Saturday November 4. Bonfire starts at 7pm, with the firework display at 8pm
Where: Bute Park
How much: Adults £5, children £3, family ticket £10

Winchester
If standing in a muddy field on Saturday doesn't appeal, you could duck underground to uncover the real story of the gunpowder plot.

Tours will include a couple of explosions.
