Horsham Fireworks Nights 2015

Bonfire, bonfire, gunpowder treason and plot! Can you believe that it`s nearly that time of year again?

In 1604 Guy Fawkes and thirteen other men made a plan to blow up the Houses Of Parliament, in the end their plan was foiled and Guy Fawkes got caught in the act and killed. We remember this day each year by lighting bonfires and fireworks. Some firework displays also burn effigies of Guy Fawkes himself.

There are plenty of ways to celebrate this famous occasion in Horsham!

Horsham Rugby Club

On Saturday the 1^st of November, why not join Horsham’s Rugby Club for a firework display even bigger than last year? This year it is being sponsored by Vines of Gatwick, and stars from Waterloo Road will be handing out all of the prizes.

Brockham Bonfire

If you would like to go further afield, try out Brockham. They hold the UK’s biggest bonfire and firework display, which this year will be held on Saturday the 7th of November. They collect branches from the local community to create a bonfire ‘masterpiece’ every year, and a voluntary donation is asked of each person to raise funds for local societies and charities.

Make sure to allow plenty of time to get to the display, as Brockham can get extremely busy on Bonfire Night. The road around the area will be closed from 5.30pm for safety, and car parks around the area are clearly marked. Around £20,000 is raised every year for this event, so it is a great cause!
