Saturday 7 November 2026 at North Walls Recreation Ground; fireworks start 7.45pm, arranged by Winchester Round Table.
Sat 7 Nov 2026. Ticket collection from 10am, arena opens 4.30pm, torchlit procession 6pm from the Guildhall, bonfire lit 7.15pm, fireworks 7.45pm.
The 2026 display has passed. For a future Bonfire & Fireworks night, expect the same pattern: city-centre road closures, busy car parks, and no Park & Ride buses after the display. City-centre roads close around the torchlit procession and display, so arrive early, park further out and walk in. The station is a 10-minute walk from North Walls. Park & Ride runs to the city all day (£4.50), but there are no Park & Ride buses after the display.
Use the Winchester Parking Guide and Park & Ride to avoid congestion. East sites are walkable to the Cathedral (~10–15 min).
Winchester railway station is about a 10-minute walk to North Walls Recreation Ground — the easiest way to arrive without driving. Mid-evening return trains are limited, so check your connection before travelling. Source: Winchester Bonfire event advice (checked Nov 2026).
Arrive early — the torchlit procession closes High Street roads from 6pm and city-centre traffic is heavy before and after the display. Check the Winchester Parking Guide for tariffs.
