Sing along to the Gunpowder Plot song
Hear about the birth of fireworks and Guy Fawkes' failed gunpowder plot that led to his capture, with this BANGing Bonfire Night tune from Horrible Histories!
What happens in the Gunpowder Plot song?
This Horrible Histories song takes you right into the smoky, sneaky world of Guy Fawkes and his gang. Learn all about the origins of Bonfire Night and learn about the plotters' brilliantly bonkers plan to blow up King James I and the Houses of Parliament in 1605. They were angry that Catholics weren’t treated fairly, so they decided to make a rather… explosive protest. With barrels of gunpowder hidden under Parliament, Guy Fawkes was ready to light the fuse, but, spoiler alert, things didn’t go quite as planned!
What is Bonfire Night?
Bonfire Night is celebrated in the UK every year on 5th November. People gather outdoors around big bonfires and watch firework displays to commemorate the failure of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605.
