Life in the UK Test 31
What name is given to the celebration when people in Great Britain set off fireworks at home or in special displays on the 5th of November?
Correct Answer: Bonfire night
The celebration is called Bonfire Night (also known as Guy Fawkes Night). It takes place every 5 November to mark the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy Fawkes and a group of Catholic conspirators attempted to blow up the Houses of Parliament and assassinate King James I.
Celebrations include lighting bonfires, setting off fireworks, and burning effigies of Guy Fawkes. The occasion is remembered in the famous rhyme: "Remember, remember the fifth of November."
