You might be thinking, “Is it November 5th?” If it’s not, stop panicking. Guy Fawkes Night is our biggest bang-fest, but people now celebrate it any weekend in October or November. If you hear fireworks in August, it’s almost certainly not for a failed 17th-century plot.
Honestly, Bonfire Night season has become a three-month window. It’s like Christmas, but with more singed eyebrows and less tinsel. So if the date is wrong, blame the neighbours who bought a massive box of “Pyro Palooza” and just couldn’t wait.
