There'll be several huge bonfires built in local parks, as well as massive firework displays to admire.

Bonfire Night is celebrated in commemoration of the failed gun powder plot against the House of Lord and King James I in 1605.

Following that evening, many celebrated the failed plot and it quickly became an annual tradition that is still celebrated to this day.

If you're looking to celebrate Bonfire Night in Rochdale this year, you're in luck as there's plenty of displays taking place.

Here's a breakdown of the Bonfire Night events taking part in Rochdale in 2021.
