Bonfire Night: Events in Shropshire and how to get tickets for firework displays
It's getting chilly out there - which means it's almost time to chew on some treacle toffee and warm up around a bonfire.
With Bonfire Night falling on a Sunday this year, the weekend's celebrations are set to be some of the brightest and loudest.
Start warming up your best oohs and ahhs because it's almost time to watch as the night sky is lit up for the slightly bizarre tradition of celebrating the time dissidents failed to blow up Parliament.
The tradition of Bonfire Night is as old as the Gunpowder Plot itself, with the Observance of 5th November Act passed just months after the show trial of Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators.
The Act enforced an annual public day of thanksgiving for the plot's failure. For the years that followed - in the anti-Catholic sentiment of the time - the public burned effigies of the Pope.
Celebrations, over time, became more elaborate, with fireworks joining the festivities. Towards the end of the 18th century, stuffed Guy Fawkes replaced the Pope atop the burning bonfires, and the day shifted to become Guy Fawkes Day.
The Act enforcing the observation was repealed in 1859, and now, 163 years later, the celebration has taken on a much less political or religious motivation.
For most of us, Bonfire Night is now just an excuse to eat, drink and be merry under the whistles, bangs and whirs of the bright lights.
