It’s almost that time of year where fireworks will traditionally light up the skies in bursts of colours and patterns.

Bonfire Night , also known as Guy Fawkes Night, originated from the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and has been held around November 5 each year ever since to mark the historic occasion.

This year, Bonfire Night will fall on a Wednesday, meaning there is likely to be plenty of festivities surrounding the celebration on both the weekends before and after the big day.

However, it was announced earlier this month that public bonfire nights and firework displays organised by Manchester Council will not take place this year. It will mark the sixth year where official displays by the council have not taken place.
