Beware beware the…4th of November?

 

November 5th is Guy Fawkes Day - and traditions include a bonfire. We were looking for a reason to have a bonfire so - Happy Guy Fawkes Night!

 

We will supply the fire and some snacks and beverages, plus games

 

You supply yourself and possibly a camping chair - we have some but depending on how many come, it wouldn’t hurt to have your own just in case.

 

Please note: Location has 2 friendly - although somewhat loudmouth Australian Shepherd Dogs aka Major and The Riddick. 

 

About Guy Fawkes

Guy Fawkes Night - Guy Fawkes Night originates from the Gunpowder Plot of 1605, a failed conspiracy by a group of English to assassinate King James I of England and VI of Scotland. In the immediate aftermath of the 5 November arrest of Guy Fawkes, caught guarding a cache of explosives placed beneath the House of Lords, James's Council allowed the public to celebrate the king's survival with bonfires, so long as they were "without any danger or disorder". This made 1605 the first year the plot's failure was celebrated. Now the holiday is primarily celebrated with bonfires, fireworks, sparklers and toffee apples with children asking for ‘a penny for the Guy’.
