Remember, remember the fifth of November. This is the day that Guy Fawkes was arrested for plotting to blow up the House of Lords.<\/p>\n

Catholic Fawkes and his fellow plotters had planned to assassinate the Protestant King James I. To celebrate that the King had survived, people lit bonfires around London then, months later, the day became an annual event of thanksgiving.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, the day is less about remembering, remembering, and more about the bonfire and firework displays. And if there\u2019s one thing the UK does well, it\u2019s putting on a good show.<\/p>\n

Across England, parks, stately homes and people\u2019s back gardens will host firework displays and bonfires where fake Guy Fawkes may be burnt. In Lewes, you\u2019ll find marches with torched effigies of famous (or infamous) people, Leeds and Kenilworth Castles are home of some of the best firework displays in the country, and LEGOLAND has a special bonfire event for the whole family.<\/p>\n
