The British tradition of Bonfire Night dates back to 1605, when a Catholic conspirator, Guy Fawkes, attempted to blow up King James I and the houses of Parliament with barrels of gunpowder - but was caught red-handed. Fawkes`s plot was failed, but its failure has been celebrated across the country on 5 November ever since.

Set against unrivalled panoramic views of London the fireworks display will illuminate the evening sky for an unforgettable experience. Bigger, brighter and including an epic laser show – this is the capital’s hottest bonfire night ticket for a reason.
What’s more, this year the fireworks display soundtrack will be curated by the one and only DJ Yoda. The king of cut ‘n’ paste DJing will lend his signature style to a bespoke mixtape especially for this year’s display - a world first!
