Remember, remember, the fifth of November will soon be upon us once again.
Greater Manchester will be lit up with roaring bonfires while dazzling fireworks displays colour the sky as the region celebrates Bonfire Night.
As always there are dozens of events taking place at parks, pubs, clubs and community centres where you can enjoy all the magic of Guy Fawkes night.
We’ve rounded up some of the main events confirmed so far and we will be updating the list as more are announced so keep checking back if you don’t see any in your area yet.
Personal fireworks – including sparklers – are banned at most events so please check with organisers before you set off.
All events are expected to be very busy and parking is limited around many of the sites, so make sure you arrive in plenty of time and try to use public transport if possible.
And it goes without saying, but leave your dogs at home and out of earshot.
If you know of any bonfires or fireworks displays not already on our list, please leave details in the comments section below and we’ll get them added.
