Decisions Decisions – Take The Family Out or a Nice Night In

Arrangements for Bonfire Night celebrations include making a imitation of Guy Fawkes, which is called "the Guy". Approximately children even keep up an old tradition of walking in the streets, carrying "the Guy" they have just made, and beg for "a penny for the Guy." The kids use the money to buy fireworks for the evening festivities.

On the night itself, Guy is placed on top of the bonfire, which is then set alight; and fireworks displays fill the sky.

This is the traditional type of night, as most people will be familiar with the basic fireworks that you can buy from wood burning ovens, Crawley whilst playing with neon bracelets and sparklers whilst drinking a hot chocolate.

History of Fireworks

This crude, early mixture has come to be known in our modern world today as gun powder.
