The 5th of November has been celebrated as Bonfire Night and Fireworks Night ever since Guy Fawkes was captured in 1605. Across Britain, we celebrate in remembrance of Parliament’s near escape from the Gunpowder Plot. We do this by lighting bonfires and setting fireworks off. Here are some of the best places to see the fireworks near Wrexham.
