This is everything you need to know about Harrogate Bonfire and Fireworks 2025 on Saturday
This is what to expect at the Harrogate Stray Charity Bonfire and Fireworks 2025 this weekend in terms of the timetable and what is on offer.
Taking place on Saturday, November 8, the family-friendly entertainment at Harrogate Stray Charity Bonfire and Fireworks, whose headline sponsor is Your Harrogate radio, has been organised, as ever, by the hard-working volunteers of Harrogate Round Table, as they have done annually for the last 50 years.
And that means everything - planning, setting up, managing, and tidying up after the event.
The much-loved community event generates funds in aid of a local charity, this time round Martin House Children’s Hospice.
It is one of the few remaining fireworks events where an entry fee is not charged and relies on the generosity of the public to happen.
