Without doubt I could. However, I will not be doing so. I'll continue to post any displays I notice into this thread but I'll leave it up to everyone else to decide if they want to use google or not.

Nice one Duncan, we could do with some more in your part of the world, if you know of any...I've had some great help but have spend a number of hours each day for the last few days adding locations via searching in different areas on google and have added a couple of hundred but there are still some massive gaps :(

No need to add more around here - this is the best in the area :D
Last year we had 5000 people come into the village for it.

Parking is roadside and slightly chaotic; best recommendation get here early, and leave late.
Take it easy and enjoy the atmosphere :)
Oh - and come and say hello to the guy prompting the compare and driving the sound system - that'll be me!
 
A few piccies from last night :)

Now that's what I call a guy!
Stuffed full of explosives and was the start of the main display.

All ready for the public to arrive. Taken from the top of the natural amphitheatre; bonfire and fireworks are joust out of shot to the right.

The bonfire...

I've no shots of the fireworks as I was busy manning the sound desk; the commentator kept knocking the microphone on, so everyone could hear his off-air comments unless I whacked the sound down. Like I said, it kept me busy!

One of these years we'll get a photographer turn up and do this event justice!
 
What about non UK events? There's plenty going on through the year in Spain which people might catch when on Holiday :)

To be honest because this is primarily a UK forum I only added locations in the UK, while a few others did add there own locations onto the map which I'm really grateful for, I personally spent 5 days solid researching event and locations then finding the on the map, the result being that it was me that added about 80-90% of the locations...the net result of this is as far as I'm concerned this will stay a UK only map..there is however nothing stopping you from starting a non-map (y) and welcome to the forum :wave:
 
Skinningrove Fireworks and bonfire display, all put on by the locals for the community to enjoy..please donate if going along. pence or pounds.. great views from the cliff top onto or in the valley, even on the beach... new theme every year...:)

I regret to announce that Priddy Bonfire Night has been cancelled for 2013 and onwards. :(
Please can someone remove it from the map as I can't work out how to do it - I can't even edit the details.

Unfortunately the county has a new health and safety representative, and despite this being one of the best run and safest bonfire nights in the South West, the organisers have been left with no choice but to withdraw the event.
It's kind of ironic because the event was originally held to try and end the practice of people coming into the village and letting their own fireworks off on the Village Green, it had got popular enough that safety was a major problem.

If the situation changes, then I'll add another post.

I'll take it off when I'm at the real computer (y) stupid H&S nutters
 
Fort William rugby club always put on a display. They are based in Banavie just outside Fort William and you've got Ben Nevis as a backdrop. Depending on cloud cover I've had some lovely night silhouettes of the hill with the fireworks running through it. Well i like it anyway.

Also, there has been a display in Ballachulish quarry, just A couple of miles from Glen Coe village, although i can't be certain that they will do it every year they have put on a good show for the last two or three years.

Sorry, can't put a pin on your map at the moment.

I'll turn the computer on later and unlock the map...I'll be honest I haven't managed to update it too much from last year as trying to find current information for all locations is proving a real PITA :(
