Here's your guide to the Bonfire and Fireworks displays in the Harrogate District this weekend

There are dozens of displays going on in all corners of the district from Friday November 2 to Sunday November 5, marking the anniversary of Guy Fawkes' infamous treason plot.

But with so many options it can be hard to decide where to go. Here is your round-up of Bonfire and Fireworks highlights this weekend:

For years the biggest bonfire event in Harrogate has been the Stray Bonfire.

Held on the Oatlands Drive section of the Stray near St Aidan's school, the event is organised by Harrogate Round Table and always supports a good cause.

This year the event is supporting the Harrogate Easier Living Project and Henshaws.

The event is free to attend and as such the organisers rely on generous donations from guests and local businesses to keep it running. This year Harrogate business, CNG, have sponsored the fireworks.

The bonfire will be lit at 6.30pm, followed by the fireworks at 7.15pm. (All timing approximate).

Please bear in mind, there is limited parking in the immediate vicinity so the area is likely to be highly congested.
