Remember, remember the 5th of November 🎇

Bonfire Night, otherwise known as Guy Fawkes Day, is almost here! Get ready for a celebration of bonfires, firework displays, sparklers and more. 

What is Bonfire Night? 

Celebrated on November 5h, Bonfire Night goes back to when a group of men (including Guy Fawkes), tried to blow u the Houses of Parliament in London, but failed. So the King's survival was celebrated with bonfires in celebration.

Nowadays, Bonfire Night is all about bringing the community together, firework shows and enjoying an Autumn evening with friends.
