This huge celebration marks the occasion nearly 400 years ago when Guy Fawkes and his fellow plotters were foiled in their attempt to blow up Parliament. Across the country ‘Guys’ are burned on huge bonfires and hundreds of fireworks are set off. There’s no better place to experience Bonfire Night than London. Thousands turn out for the public fireworks displays which rival each other in scale and sophistication, there’s a real community spirit across the capital and also several astounding displays. Alexandra Palace and the other famous public displays are usually held on the nearest weekend. (6, 7 November) Please see our comprehensive article on Bonfire Night nearer the time.
