Bonfire night is just around the corner and what better way to mark the ocassion than taking the family to an organised display.
The event commemorates the arrest of Guy Fawkes after authorities found out about the gunpoweder plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament on the night of November 5, 1605.
Many of this year’s organised displays also feature fun fairs, food and drink, and live entertainment.
Check out the following fabulous displays across Wearside in and around bonfire night.
