Fire.Fest '24
Sunday 3rd November 2024
The Reason We Celebrate
In A Nutshell :)
Guy Fawkes Night is a British custom dating back to 1605, when a group planned to use gunpowder to destroy the Houses of Parliament and King James I due to his Protestant beliefs. The failed plot led to the arrest of Guy Fawkes, who was caught guarding the gunpowder. In commemoration of this event, bonfires were lit throughout London.
​
Fast forward to today, and we're still commemorating this fiery fail with epic fireworks shows that would make even the best party planner jealous! Remember, remember the fifth of November, a day when we celebrate the ultimate plot twist.
​
Back in the day, this event sparked major drama, with mandatory church services and effigy burnings. But now, it's all about the fireworks, bonfires, and the rebellious spirit of Guy Fawkes stealing the spotlight. Let's keep the bonfires burning and the fireworks popping in his honor!
Its More Than Just The Fireworks
Join us as we bring to life the story of the notorious Gunpowder Plot, with actors in period costumes reenacting the dramatic events of 1605. Witness Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators as they scheme to blow up the Houses of Parliament. The evening culminates in a dazzling fireworks display, celebrating this significant moment in Britain's history.
The Sparkles
