About
The Winchester Round Table Bonfire & Fireworks event takes place in the heart of the UK's most special city, Winchester on Saturday 3rd November 2018. Each year, the city centre procession, the lighting of the Bonfire and the spectacular Fireworks display is a huge success. Bringing together the city with all profits going to local organisations and charities, sparking a difference in our local community. The Bonfire, Fireworks spectacular and procession is a sight to behold as over 20,000 gather to celebrate the failed plot of Guy Fawkes.
The event will start at 6pm on The Broadway by King Alfred’s Statue, the torchlit procession meanders its way through the historical streets of Winchester to the fields behind River Park.
