Plenty turned out for the fireworks and pig on a spit. Guy Fawkes Night celebrates the audacious efforts of Guy Fawkes and others to blow up London’s House of Lords in November 1605. Over the years, on the anni- versary of the failed so-called Gunpowder Plot, effigies of Guy Fawkes were burned and an annual tradition with bonfires and fireworks was founded.

Highlights of the day and night included muddy slip ‘n’ slide swimming hole, mini motor bikes, wrestling, barbecue and campfire. The rest is left to the imagination!
