Best Bonfire Nights in the UK

With bonfire night approaching this weekend we want to make sure you don’t miss out on the most spectacular displays across the country.

Bonfire night is one of Britain's best loved traditions. It marks the occasion of Guy Fawkes and his entourage attempting to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605 and to commemorate this the British public light bonfires, burn “Guys” and set off fireworks.
