When is Bonfire Night?
Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes night, is traditional held on 5th November in Great Britain.
It commemorates the failure of the Gunpower Plot of 1605 where a group of Catholic conspirators tried to blow up Parliament.
An effigy of Guy Fawkes, known as a ‘Guy’, is burned on the top of a massive bonfire at sites across the UK.
Events are usually organised by charities – such as the Round Table club – or by local councils.
They are usually accompanied by firework displays.
