Bonfire or guy fawkes night is quickly approaching, and with this the dreaded question of what to do arises. But fear not! There are many events around Greater Manchester that you can enjoy!
Sadly, the Manchester council has decided that the public bonfire nights will not take place this year, HOWEVER, there are other councils and independent events running all around so you will still be able to get the celebration going!!!
