DISCLAIMER – I have put this information together from various sources and internet searches. Please double check timings and event details in case I have got anything wrong, I don’t want you to be disappointed.
I know not everyone likes fireworks – especially pets. Here are some guidelines on how to prepare your dog for fireworks night that we will be trying out and also a guide to common signs of stress in all sorts of situations and how to help your dog.
Enjoy this year’s fireworks evening wherever you are. Don’t forget to stay safe and if you are planning your own party then take a look at the guidelines form the Firework safety organisation.

Hi! I am Clare and I live in glorious East Devon with my family.
Join me in finding new places to explore in the West Country as well as further afield.
I hope you enjoy reading and taking inspiration from this website. 
Brilliant guide as always, I’ll be sure to share this. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the guide – it’s definitely the most comprehensive one I’ve seen. Very helpful. I’m not sure why some of these don’t show up when just simply searching for Bonfire Night events in Devon.
Thank you for the feedback, it’s a list that’s been a few years in the making but I always advise double checking the details.
I found another one that I’ll be going to. It’s quite a challenge to find one that actually has a bonfire, but isn’t also too far away to travel to.
Thank you I can add it in.
Brilliant guide . Thank you Clare
There’s also one in Offwell on Wednesday 25th. Gates open 6:15, display at 7:30 x
