Bonfire Night

Guy Fawkes Night, also known as Bonfire Night,  is an annual celebration  on the evening of the 5th of November . It celebrates the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, in which a group of conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London on the evening of 5 November 1605, against the Protestant King James I.

The celebrations,  involve fireworks displays and the building of bonfires, traditionally on which "guys",  representing Guy Fawkes, the most famous of the conspirators are burnt.

 In the United Kingdom, there are several other regional traditions that accompany Guy Fawkes/Bonfire night: the eating of bonfire toffee, toffee apples, the traditional 'apple lollipop', and baked potatoes.
