Fireworks Displays in Sheffield 2026
Bonfire Night lands on a Thursday this year, and Sheffield's biggest party is Arcnight at Don Valley Bowl that same evening. If you'd rather start early, Chatsworth lights its bonfire on Halloween weekend. Cannon Hall Farm does a gentler, quieter show set to music, which is perfect if your smallest is more "hands over ears" than "ooh, aah". Here's every display we could confirm for 2026, with times, prices and the free ones too.

Tips for Bonfire Night in Sheffield
Book Chatsworth and Cannon Hall early. Chatsworth's Friday has already gone.

Layers, wellies and a flask. Sheffield in November means mud.
