"Fireworks are a tradition on Guy Fawkes night."

Bonfire night takes place next week and commemorates Guy Fawkes Night when King James survived the gun powder plot.

Every year, people celebrate November 5 with colourful and intricate fireworks displays, all over the country.

However, celebrations such as Diwali are also taking place with fireworks being set off earlier than Bonfire Night - arguably because fireworks are readily available to purchase to the public.
