HOLIDAY - Guy Fawkes Night

Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night, is an annual event in the United Kingdom, celebrated on November 5th. The night commemorates the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes and his conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament. The event is marked by bonfires, fireworks displays, and the burning of effigies, often representing Guy Fawkes. It is a celebration of the plot’s failure and a time for families and communities to gather. Traditionally, people also enjoy food like toffee apples and treacle toffee. The night is a mix of historical remembrance and festive fun.
