And while many like to have their own displays at home, many more like to head out to an organised local event where the fireworks and bonfire are often much bigger and more spectacular and there’s often the bonus of fairground rides, food stalls and bars to make it a great family night out.
Here, we’re listing the displays we know about for Mansfield, Ashfield, Bassetlaw and Broxtowe – if you know of a public display in these areas that isn’t on this list, let us know and we’ll add it.
