Bonfire Night falls on Thursday 5 November in 2026, so most Surrey displays are on the weekends either side: Ripley on Saturday 31 October, Godalming, Reigate and Esher on Friday 6 November, and the big town displays plus the Brockham and Chiddingfold bonfires on Saturday 7 November.
This guide lists ten displays with their dates, times and ticket prices, all taken from each organiser's own website in October 2026. Several big ones sell tickets online only, with nothing on the gate, and prices rise nearer the night, so book early. Most are run by volunteers to raise money for local charities. The photo shows the Brockham bonfire being built on the village green.

Tips for the night
Book ticketed displays online: Farnham and Epsom sell nothing on the gate, and Guildford and Woking charge more on the night. At the village bonfires, roads close early and parking is in fields or by shuttle bus, so arrive early and bring a torch and wellies. Check what you can bring: Woking, for example, bans sparklers, alcohol and glass. Epsom's 6.30pm low-noise show is a gentler start for small children.
