This year, forget trying to impress the kids with a box of measly fireworks in the back garden. Head out to one of these local bonfire night extravaganzas instead. They’re bigger, better organised, and far less likely to fizzle out before they’ve even launched (or set the neighbour’s roof on fire). Coats on. Let’s go.
