Bonfire Night is on Thursday 5 November 2026. Here's where to see a bonfire or fireworks around Liverpool, and where to eat or have a drink with a view over the river, the docks or the city.
Organisers are still announcing their 2026 displays, so we add new ones as soon as they're confirmed. Every event below links to where we checked it.
Listed by date. Prices and times are as the organiser shows them, so check before you set off.
Not fireworks, but the city's free light art trail: 13 light installations across the city centre, run by Culture Liverpool.

High up over the city, or right on the water. Book ahead and ask for a window: those seats go first.
Will you see fireworks? On 5 November, fireworks go up all over Liverpool and across the river on the Wirral, so a high window or a waterfront table usually catches a few. Just don't expect a big organised show over the Mersey: none has been announced for 2026.
About 300 feet up, with floor-to-ceiling windows on every side. One of the highest restaurants in the UK. There's a bar area if you just want a drink with the view.
ViewWhereA cocktail bar at the top of the INNSiDE hotel, above Gino D'Acampo's restaurant. Good for a drink before or after dinner.
ViewWhereFood from Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Japan and China, plus cocktails. The roof terrace looks out over the water.
ViewWhereThe Albert Dock sister of Lunya, serving tapas and paella inside the old dock buildings.
ViewWhereA steakhouse inside the Atlantic Pavilion. Also in our Christmas dinner guide.
ViewWhereBonfire Night falls on a Thursday this year, so most restaurants are open as normal. If you're walking the River of Light trail or heading home from a display, our list of featured restaurants in Liverpool has somewhere for every budget, from Slater Street ramen to Hope Street fine dining. None of them paid to be there.

Bonfire Night is on Thursday 5 November 2026. Many organised displays happen on the nearest weekend instead, so in 2026 look out for events on Saturday 7 November too.
As of 5 October 2026 we haven't found any announcement of a 2026 display in Sefton Park, and the 2025 display was listed as cancelled. We'll add it to this guide if one is confirmed.
For height, Panoramic 34 is on the 34th floor of the West Tower and Gino D'Acampo's 360 Sky Bar is on the 18th floor of the INNSiDE hotel. For the waterfront, Matou looks across the Mersey from the Pier Head, and Lunyalita and Miller & Carter are on the Royal Albert Dock.
There's no organised fireworks display over the river announced for 2026. But fireworks go up all over Liverpool and the Wirral on 5 November, so from a high building or the waterfront you'll usually see some.
In England, fireworks can't be set off between 11pm and 7am, except on Bonfire Night, when the cut-off is midnight.
