Where to Photograph Fire Festivals

We are attempting to list all places where photographers can photograph Fire Festivals within the UK. This is the start of a list that will both grow over time and hopefully we will be able to add more columns or information.

Fire festivals take place throughout the year, and throughout the country. We have further lists Illuminated events such as carnivals and woodland displays and  Firework Displays.

Where the names in the first column is hyperlinked this links to a Location page with more information on this site and over time more of these will be added, we will be delighted if some of you would like to also produce location pages.
