Fireworks at Lancashire Mining Museum

Alongside a firework display, the venue will be complete with fairground rides, fun competitions, and even a ukulele band!

Bonfire night with a twist

If you want to make the most of bonfire night falling on a weekend this year and celebrate in a totally different way, then we have got you covered too.
