All the colour, with fewer big bangs! Families looking for a gentler fireworks experience have a choice of low-noise displays and quieter children’s shows across Gloucestershire and nearby South Gloucestershire this autumn.
From Halloween fireworks at Longlevens and South Cerney to Bonfire Night celebrations in Cheltenham, Gloucester and the Forest of Dean, Explore Gloucestershire has rounded up 12 events offering low-noise fireworks or a quieter part of the programme.
Before choosing an event: Low-noise fireworks are not silent. Music, fairground rides and crowds can also be loud. Several events below offer a quieter show alongside a louder main display, so visitors should check the full programme and timings with the organiser before booking.
