Bonfire Night in the Cotswolds – Sparks in the Countryside
As autumn turns to winter, Bonfire Night brings the Cotswolds to life with crackling fires, bright skies, and a true sense of tradition. Across the rolling hills and villages, communities gather to remember the story of Guy Fawkes with fireworks, music, and laughter.
The open landscapes make the perfect backdrop for the night’s celebrations, as colours burst over church spires and fields. Popular displays take place in Cirencester Park, Chipping Campden, and Cheltenham Racecourse, where families come wrapped in scarves to enjoy the spectacle.
Bonfires blaze against the cool night air, while stalls serve hot drinks, toffee apples, and locally made sausages. For visitors staying with The Cotswold Retreats, the evening can be as lively or as peaceful as you wish – attend one of the big displays or simply light a small firepit at your private lodge and enjoy the glow with a mug of cocoa. The mix of countryside calm and festive energy makes Bonfire Night in the Cotswolds unforgettable. When the last spark fades, retreat indoors to warmth, comfort, and the quiet hum of a perfect autumn night spent far from the city’s rush.
