Bonfire Night!

/ 8 comments
Bonfire night has been one of my favourite nights of the year for as long as I can remember. From drawing chalk fireworks on black paper in nursery, to being old enough to go to displays, to parties in friends gardens - November 5th has always been something to look forward to.


We went to a local display organised by a church group, it's pretty huge and has an unbelievable turnout every year! As soon as we got through the gate, we were stuffing our faces with candy floss and warming ourselves on the roaring fire. After the firework display we ended up at the pub (as is tradition in England) eating hot pot and drinking cider - perfect!

What did you do for Bonfire Night? If you're not in the UK - do you have anything similar to Bonfire Night?

  1. 4th of July of course! :) When I lived in US, every year our city would do a firework display on the Main street off the water. A big barge would go out to the gulf, and shoot fireworks from there. The whole street would be blocked off from traffic, and people would brink blankets and food and have picnics. It was a lot of fun, and I miss it a lot :(

  4. We call it Guy Fawkes night in New Zealand. Wellington always does a massive display over the harbour. I really missed it this year!

  5. I so wish we had Bonfire here in Slovenia. The only thing kinda similar to it is may 1st, when we also light a bonfire, but to celebrate "A day of work" :)

  7. Remember, remember the 5th of November! I was watching V for Vendetta yesterday pondering if people in the UK still celebrate "Bonfire Night".... looks like you guys do! I'm not sure how many people in the US really know about November 5th and what the celebration/tradition is about.

  8. Sounds great! We went to Primrose hill from sunset til about 8 on Saturday to just watch whatever fireworks we could see. Then out in Camden. Last night we watched some more local fireworks from a motorway bridge so we didn't have to pay a tenner to get in. Those ones were amazing! I'm going to be blogging about the weekend today! :D
