Bonfire Night, also known as Guy Fawkes Night, is more popular with Brits than New Year’s Eve and Father’s Day (sorry dads!).
To meet the demand, there are more than a dozen major Bonfire Night displays to pick from across London this year.
Many of them offer more than fireworks, too. These days, drones and funfairs are common features. You can also expect yummy street food and autumnal treats to give your little one an energy boost ahead of the big show.
