About Bonfire Night

Bonfire Night, or Guy Fawkes Night, is marked in the UK on 5 November with bonfires and fireworks, remembering the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605.

In 2026 it falls on a Thursday; in 2027 it’s on Friday 5 November, and in 2028 on Sunday 5 November. Also in November 2026: World Tsunami Awareness Day (5 Nov), National Men Make Dinner Day (5 Nov) and World Day of Romani Language (5 Nov). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
