As the autumn nights draw in it’s time to prepare for the skies to light up with dazzling fireworks as we celebrate Guy Fawkes night. We’ve found the best bonfires and most explosive fireworks displays in Teignbridge.

Shaldon Beach

This one’s a week earlier than usual due to the tide times. Landlubbers should beware as this year there’s a ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ theme.

The fun starts at 5pm as the crowds start to gather on Shaldon beach for a fundraising barbecue.

6:30pm Pirates of the Caribbean themed bonfire on Shaldon Beach

7:15pm Fireworks from The Point in Teignmouth

Any contributions of clean wood for the bonfire should be brought to Shaldon Beach from 10am-12pm

Pirates of the Caribbean-themed Guys for the bonfire should be dropped off at Shaldon Beach between 2pm and 3pm.
