In 2026, it falls on a Thursday, and the big London shows take place the following weekend. Having lived in the UK since 2012, we explain the origins of the festival, the best places to experience it, and our tips for planning your trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonfire Night, the story of a failed plot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festival commemorates the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. That year, a group of Catholic conspirators planned to blow up the House of Lords during the State Opening of Parliament by King James I. However, on the night of November 4-5, Guy Fawkes was arrested beneath the Palace of Westminster, next to the barrels of gunpowder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To celebrate the failure of the plot, Londoners lit bonfires. As early as 1606, a law established November 5th as a day of commemoration. This is why it is also known as Guy Fawkes Night. Even today, the Royal Guard symbolically searches the cellars of Parliament before each State Opening ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The traditions of Bonfire Night<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the centuries, the festival has retained its rituals. Here&#039;s what you&#039;ll see all over the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n<li>First, the bonfires, often topped with an effigy called the &quot;guy&quot;.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Then, fireworks displays, organized by cities, parks and sports clubs.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>Then there are the magic candles that children twirl in the night.<\/li>\n\n\n<li>On the sweet side, there are candied apples, bonfire toffee and parkin, a ginger and oat cake from Yorkshire.<\/li>\n\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bonfire Night in London in 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In London, November 5th falls on a Thursday in 2026. The biggest shows therefore take place the following weekend, November 7th and 8th. However, these are ticketed events and require advance booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Battersea Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Battersea Park, on the banks of the Thames, hosts the biggest fireworks display in South London. In 2026, it will take place on Saturday, November 7th at around 8:30 pm and Sunday, November 8th at around 7 pm. Food stalls and a funfair will also be part of the festivities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alexandra Palace<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North of the city, Alexandra Palace is hosting its Fireworks &amp; Drone Festival on November 7th and 8th, 2026. The program includes fireworks, a drone show, a beer festival, and family activities on Sunday. The hill also offers panoramic views across London. The program is available on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.alexandrapalace.com\/whats-on\/fireworks-drone-festival\/\">Alexandra Palace official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, many neighborhoods and towns organize their own shows, sometimes free of charge. So, to discover the city between evenings out, also check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/en\/guides\/london-off-the-beaten-track-neighborhoods\/\">London&#039;s off-the-beaten-path neighborhoods<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Lewes, the biggest Bonfire Night party<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"555\" height=\"718\" src=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lewes.png\" alt=\"Bonfire Night in Lewes: vaulted stone passageway in the old town centre\" class=\"wp-image-2476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lewes.webp 555w, https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lewes-232x300.webp 232w, https:\/\/www.brightside-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Lewes-9x12.webp 9w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 555px) 100vw, 555px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An hour by train from London, the small town of Lewes in Sussex hosts the world&#039;s largest Bonfire Night celebration. It always takes place on November 5th, unless that date falls on a Sunday. So, in 2026, the date will be Thursday, November 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In total, seven Bonfire societies from Lewes march in the procession, along with about thirty invited societies from Sussex. The torchlight processions begin around 5 p.m. and last until about 1 a.m. The main joint procession passes by around 9 p.m. Seventeen burning crosses are also on display, in memory of the seventeen Protestant martyrs burned at the stake in Lewes in the 16th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please note that access to the fireworks displays is by ticket only, sold by each company. Roads around the city close from early afternoon. Furthermore, the crowds, noise, and smoke make the event unsuitable for young children and strollers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other unusual parties in England<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, in Devon, Ottery St Mary maintains a spectacular tradition: residents run through the streets carrying burning tar barrels on their shoulders. Elsewhere, most towns and cities generally hold a bonfire and fireworks display on the weekend closest to November 5th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do you enjoy autumn festivals?

However, London&#039;s big fireworks display takes place the following weekend, on November 7 and 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do we celebrate Bonfire Night?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The festival commemorates the failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. Guy Fawkes and his accomplices wanted to blow up Parliament during the visit of King James I.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where to see the best Bonfire Night fireworks in London?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Battersea Park and Alexandra Palace are hosting the biggest shows on November 7 and 8, 2026. Both require tickets and advance booking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the Lewes festival suitable for children?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not really. In fact, the crowds, noise, and smoke make the evening difficult for young children. For a family outing, Sunday at Alexandra Palace is a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many days should I plan for Bonfire Night?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Generally, a long weekend of three or four days is sufficient. This allows you to combine the processions in Lewes with a fireworks display in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience Bonfire Night with Brightside Travel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our experts are very familiar with these holidays and know how to combine them with your preferences.
