What is it?

Join English Heritage this November as fireworks return to Bolsover Castle.  With the castle illuminated and a unique bonfire projection, immerse yourself in the story of Guy Fawkes, as you are regaled with his horrific execution and other punishments from the period.

There will be performers searching out children to join their gangs and causing mischief as they plot to blow up Parliament.  Peterkin the Jester will be entertaining visitors with his school for fools and impressive fire-breathing shows.

Visitors will also find a licensed bar with a range of food on offer, as well as the usual café and onsite shop.
