Wrap up warm and head out under the stars to watch explosions of colour light up the Pembrokeshire night skies. Here’s our round-up of the best bonfire night events in Pembrokeshire.
Milford
A landmark date for bonfire night has to be the Milford Haven Fireworks at the Milford Waterfront. This free event showcases a grand firework display finale. You can also expect live entertainment from local bands and musicians, a fabulous funfair and food stalls for a real family-friendly atmosphere. Grab a delicious cup of hot chocolate as you watch the display light up the skies above the waterfront.

The comfortable and contemporary sofas make for a cosy space, heightened by the addition of a gas fire in the style of a wood burner.
