On 5 November, people remember the plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament by celebrating “Bonfire Night”. All over Britain there are firework displays and bonfires with models of Guy Fawkes, which are on the fire. The Guy is made of old clothes and the clothes are filled with newspaper. The fireworks are a reminder of the gunpowder that Guy Fawkes hid in the cellar of Parliament. Some people have a small in their garden on 5 November, while in main towns and cities there are big bonfires and firework displays.

It’s normally quite in November in Britain, so on Bonfire Night people wear hats, scarves and gloves to spend the evening outside. They need some warm food too. Traditional Bonfire Night food is hot baked potatoes. They are on the bonfire and filled with butter and cheese. There are also toffee apples (apples on a stick, covered in sweet toffee) and in the north of England they eat a special type of cake called parkin. Toasting marshmallows on the bonfire is also popular. Yum!

In Britain only can buy fireworks but in the past they were sold to children too. During the days before Bonfire Night, children used to take their homemade Guys onto the streets and for ‘a penny for the Guy’ to collect money to buy fireworks. Now you have to be over 18 to buy fireworks, and safety on Bonfire Night is a (an) issue.
