Find the local firework displays lighting up Winchester's skies in November 2025

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 with its glowing Halloween lanterns and Bonfire Night, when Winchester district will be lit up with cracking bonfires and glittering firework displays.
