Wrap up warm and make an evening of Bonfire Night during your autumn stay in Cornwall. Two local fireworks events offer a chance to enjoy the celebrations around St Ives Bay this November, with a beach setting in St Ives and a community evening here in Hayle.
St Ives fireworks: Thursday 5 November
Porthminster Beach is the venue for the St Ives fireworks event organised by St Ives Football Club. The Visit St Ives listing gives an event time of 5.30pm to 8pm on Thursday 5 November 2026.
That is the overall event window, so check the latest announcement for the precise display time and any entry arrangements. Allow time to arrive before the celebrations and plan your journey home in advance.
