November 5 is fast approaching and with it comes Guy Fawkes Night bonfires and firework displays taking place around Leeds
of this year’s official bonfire events, including the bonfire in Roundhay Park, to keep costs down.
Bonfire night, or Guy Fawkes Day, is celebrated yearly in order to commemorate the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 - a plan by a group of Catholics to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, as a direct action against King James I for refusing to grant greater tolerance for the faith in England. The failed plot was led by Robert Catesby, and aimed to kill the king and members of parliament in order to reestablish Catholic rule in England. The plot failed after the conspirators were betrayed, and Guy Fawkes, who the day now has become synonymous with, was captured and executed. November 5th is now celebrated yearly with bonfires and fireworks. Straw effigies of Guy Fawkes are also sometimes tossed into the fire.
Despite the official Leeds city council celebration being cancelled, there are still a few alternative bonfires and firework displays going on in and around the city on Guy Fawkes Night. Here are three of them.When: 6pm - 9pmPrice: Adults £8, children £4 Hosted by West Park Leeds RUFC, the event will have food stalls and an outside bar.
