Roundhay Park Bonfire Night - fireworks display schedule, road closures and more

With Bonfire Night just around the corner, all the details for the biggest and most spectacular display in Leeds have been released.

Every single year, tens of thousands of people flock to Roundhay Park to watch the giant bonfire go up in flames on Soldiers Field before craning their necks skyward to take in the fireworks display.

The family friendly event - which is completely free - draws in people from all over the city who are keen to be a part of the huge crowds and soak up the atmosphere.

With so much going on, we've rounded up all the key information ahead of the big night on Tuesday, November 5, including the schedule and those all-important road closures.

Schedule

The gates will open on Soldiers Field at 6:30pm to allow people to get into position, grab some candy floss and get their cameras out before the main event.

The bonfire is due to be lit at around 7:30pm, with the fireworks display set to start around half an hour later at 8pm.

Allow plenty of time to get through the gates, as big crowds are expected and traffic in the area is likely to be incredibly busy.

Road closures

Princes Avenue will be completely closed to all traffic on Tuesday, November 5 from 6pm, with the road reopening again at 9pm after the fireworks display has finished.

Lidgett Park Road and Street Lane will also be closed up to the junctions with Princes Avenue for the same time period.
