Many councils in Greater Manchester have postponed their bonfire night events due to the cost of living. However, there are still independent events happening on November 5th. Bonfire Night commemorates the failed gunpowder plot of 1605.
It's almost that time of year when people gather at parks and fields across the region to be dazzled by a spectacular light show. However, despite being a winter-time staple, bonfire night in Greater Manchester has taken a hit due to the cost of living.
Bonfire Night is celebrated every year in commemoration of the failed gunpowder plot which sought to blow up the House of Lords and King James I in 1605. The plot was famously initiated by Guy Fawkes, which is why some people refer to the holiday as Guy Fawkes Night.READ MORE: New Mackie Mayor style food hall boasts whacky takes on the Wigan kebab
