Have a cracker of a time this Bonfire night!

This Friday is the 405th Anniversary of the gunpowder plot when Guy Fawkes attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and kill James I.  What better way to spend your weekend than celebrating the foiling of this dastardly plan?

Think of all the oooohing and aaaahing to be had as breathtaking fireworks fill the sky; the flames from the bonfires warming your cockles; writing your name with a sparkler or two; the apple bobbing; the fairground rides to bring back fond (or scary!) childhood memories; and let’s not forget the toffee apples and mulled wine.

So get yourself and your friends along to one of these fantastic celebrations in London.
