Interesting @LindsaySeddon1. I’ve heard brief references to Bonfire Night but never known what it really means. (I’m a kiwi, btw).
The story goes that on 5th November hundreds of years ago there was supposedly a plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament with gunpowder hidden in the cellars. The man responsible was called Guy Fawkes and he was caught before he managed to carry out the attack, and was executed on a bonfire in front of crowds, and it became a celebration every year that the plot failed.
In modern day children make a fake "Guy" (like a scarecrow) a few weeks before the 5th Nov, and stand on the streets asking for "a penny for the guy?" and the money they get is supposed to be spent on fireworks to set off on 5th Nov (they probably just buy other stuff now though seeing as they legally can't buy fireworks under the age of 18).
Then on the actual date, we make bonfires to burn the guy on, and have firework displays and eat toffee apples.
