Bonfire Night safety

This time of year can be exciting with Halloween and Bonfire Night events taking place across the county. But it's important to know how to keep yourself and others safe whilst celebrating. 

Attending events 

Attending professionally organised public events is the safest way to celebrate, and you can find local firework displays online. 

If you are attending organised events, it's a good idea to share plans with a trusted adult and to know how you will be travelling to and from the event.

At-home displays

If you decide to have a bonfire or firework display at home, it's important to know how to do it safely. 

You can find helpful advice and tips on ways to reduce the risks on the Oxfordshire County Council website.

Important: You must be aged 18+ to purchase fireworks.
