Guy Fawkes Night 5 Nov 2025

Guy Fawkes Night

On the night of 5 November, the skies across the United Kingdom light up with fireworks, bonfires and the occasional singsong of "Remember, remember the fifth of November." But behind the sparklers and toffee apples lies a tale of treason, gunpowder and one man forever linked with an explosive plot that fizzled out.
