With Bonfire Night just around the corner, some displays can cost up to £10 a ticket, meaning a family of four can end up spending around £40 just for entry fees.
While you’ll no doubt get plenty of bang for your buck, there are also plenty of other displays, mainly organised by local councils, which cost nothing.
