We're not quite ready to say goodbye to summer (long live alfresco dining), but as the days start to shorten, we're already looking ahead to what's coming up in Winchester this autumn and beyond.

Before the city is transformed by the annual Winchester Cathedral Christmas Market and a whole load of twinkly festive lights, we've got October half-term, Halloween and Bonfire Night to look forward to. So let's get planning: here are the local fireworks displays and Bonfire Night events taking place in and around Winchester district during November 2025.

We'll be updating this page with more Bonfire Night 2025 events as they are announced.
