As we turn our backs on another sun-kissed summer, many of us dread the cold mornings and dark afternoons that October brings. However, with the end of the year looming, it won’t be long before we’re receiving invitations to last-minute Halloween parties and fireworks night get-togethers, marking the beginning of yet another glittering party season. For a time of year that feels predominantly dark, it seems custom in the UK to make the most of the evenings in the lead up to Christmas, finding any excuse to throw on some sparkle and reconvene with friends and loved ones.
A date that people across the country will be making plans for this season is 5th November, or as it’s commonly called: fireworks night. The majority of events planned around this evening, in my experience, are usually less focused on the history of Guy Fawkes, and more on huddling around a bonfire, the consumption of toffee apples and warm drinks, and, of course, fireworks. Whilst it is not as dear a tradition as Christmas in the eyes of the British, fireworks night is often celebrated by entire communities — most of us will see banners up on our nearest high street advertising displays at our local schools and football fields in the weeks preceding the annual commemoration. For those of us that celebrate it, fireworks night is as good a reason as any to get the family together for an evening of wintery festivities — that is, of course, unless you’re vegan, and you come to realise just how non-vegan the traditions of the date really are.
