Fireworks Night is an important date on the calendar - whether you want to take your family, your significant other, or just yourself out to see some pretty explosions in the sky, GlasgowWorld has got you sorted.
Given that the Glasgow Green fireworks display was discontinued during Covid-19 (the last bonfire night event at Glasgow Green was in 2019, 5 years ago now!), we thought it would be nice to share some of the other bonfire night events that are accessible from the city.
The biggest event to see would be the fireworks display at Strathclyde Park, but if you’re unable to make it on Guy Fawkes Night (or want something a little closer to home) we’ve included displays that aren’t on November 5, but also other events throughout the week and weekend.
We’ve listed below fireworks displays across: Glasgow, Ayrshire, North & South Lanarkshire, and East & West Dunbartonshire - all within around a half an hour drive from the city centre.
1. Strathclyde Park
Every year, Strathclyde Park (near Motherwell, Hamilton and Bellshill, easy access from Glasgow via the M8) hosts bonfire night complete with a fireworks show and free admission. The fireworks display is set from 7:30pm and the bonfire will be lit at 6:30pm. From 5.30pm to 9.00pm The Big Feed will run food outlets at the Watersports Centre concourse and the foreshore car park, and music will be playing around the centre. A bonfire will be lit at 5.30pm. | CultureNL
