East End Park

Just a short walk from the city centre East End Park is perfectly located for all of you living in Mill Street. Flickering bonfires and dazzling fireworks will light up the night across East End Park from 7 pm, with the firework display at 7.30pm.

Woodhouse Moor

Only a short walk or bus ride from Leeds city centre, the fireworks at Woodhouse Moor are always packed to the rafters with students.
