Where to see Fireworks in Milton Keynes 2025
/For me, Bonfire night marks the start of winter.
There’s nothing quite like getting wrapped up in scarves and gloves whilst watching a fabulous display. The hot chocolate, toasted marshmallows and hotdogs all add to the fun! To be fair, it’s a photographer’s dream!

Alternatives to Fireworks on Bonfire Night
Bonfire night at home
You don’t need to venture out on Bonfire night to enjoy yourselves. In fact, if you have pets and children who aren’t keen on the noise, it’s best to stay at home. If you’re not a fan of sparklers, a disco in the garden (or indoors away from the noisey bangs) with glow-sticks is a fun alternative. Having music on is a great way to distract nervous dogs and cats. If you have a firepit or chiminea, use them as a safer alternative to a bonfire and get toasting those marshmallows!
Cinema
The cinema is a great evening out for the family if you want to avoid the bangs or just do something a little different. At the time I’m writing this, listings haven’t been released yet but check out the Odeon at Milton Keynes Stadium or Cineworld at Xscape
Crafts
Crafting is fun for the whole family. From paint splatters on black paper to make fireworks to making and decorating paper rockets - you can have a ton of fun at home. Search on Pinterest for Fireworks Crafts for TONS of ideas.
Cooking
Celebrate by cooking up some wintery treats. S’mores are easy to make but you could also try toffee and caramel apples.
I hope you have an amazing Bonfire night, however you decide to celebrate.
I’ll be at home with Classical FM on, trying to keep the dog settled while sneaking a look out the window every now and then to see some of the local displays!
If you get any gorgeous fireworks pictures, I’d love to see them! Tag me @BeckiWPhotos on instagram so I can take a look.
