Bramley 45th Annual Bonfire & Fireworks

A fantastic family event – now in its 45th year – suitable for all ages.

A magical evening with a torch-lit procession, a raging bonfire, spectacular fireworks and a huge selection of hot food and drinks.

It is YOUR bonfire, only made possible through your generous donations and through your food and drink purchases at the event, so please give generously to the many bucket shaking volunteers (on the way in and out) and please buy something to eat or drink.

All funds raised cover the cost of the event and all profits will be used to pay for next year’s extravaganza.

And remember – WE NEVER CANCEL the bonfire and fireworks whatever the weather, so come along to our 45th Bramley Bonfire. Bring your friends, and enjoy a great evening run by the village for the village.
