1605 Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.
Guy Fawkes
|
Remember, remember the Fifth of
November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I know of no reason
Why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t’was his intent
To blow up King and Parliament.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England’s overthrow;
By God’s providence he was catch’d
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King! |

 Forget
the
American Haloween celebrations. In the United
Kingdom, Gunpowder Plot celebrations take place
in towns and villages across the country in the
form of both private and civic events. They
involve fireworks displays and the building of
bonfires on which "guys" are burnt. These "guys"
are traditionally effigies
of Guy Fawkes, the most famous of the Gunpowder
Plot conspirators. Although the night is
celebrated in York (Fawkes' hometown) some there
do not burn his effigy, most notably those from
his old school. Before the fifth, children
traditionally use the "guys" to request a "penny
for the guy" in order to raise funds with which
to buy fireworks . In the United Kingdom, there
are several foods that are traditionally
consumed on Guy Fawkes Night: toffee apples, baked
potatoes, which are wrapped in foil and cooked
in the bonfire or its embers and black
peas with
vinegar . In the Black Country, it is a
traditional night for eating groaty
pudding. In Sussex, it is a major festival
that centres on Lewes necessitating the closure
of the town centre. The night also commemorates
the Glorious Revolution and 17 local Protestant
martyrs that were burnt at the stake during
Marian Persecutions of the Catholic Queen Mary
I. The night begins with torchlight processions
in costume by a number of local bonfire
societies and culminates in six separate
bonfires where effigies of Guy Fawkes, Pope Paul
V and topical personalities are destroyed by
firework and flame.
The Somerset
Carnivals are highly regarded as the
largest illuminated processions in
the world. They occur late on in the
year at various locations including:
Bridgwater, Burnham-on-Sea, Chard,
Ilminster, Glastonbury, North
Petherton, Shepton Mallet, Taunton,
Wellington, Wells,
Weston-Super-Mare, and Yeovil. The carnivals in
Somerset date back to 400 years, and
are one of the most spectacular
events in Somerset today. In some of
the bigger locations (such as
Bridgwater), you can expect to see
crowds of more than 120,000.
The carnival floats (or carts as
they are sometimes referred as), are
designed and built by dedicated
carnival clubs around the West
Country. These carnival clubs have
many members who raise money
throughout the year, and work
relentlessly to achieve the
spectacular carnival entries. The
carnival floats take part in the
carnival parade along with other
entries; these range from clowns
dancing in the streets to 100ft
illuminated carnival floats (some
with up to 30,000 light bulbs) pulled by tractors. |

1812 PRIME MINISTER
SHOT IN LOBBY OF HOUSE OF COMMONS
Spencer Perceval,
the son of the 2nd Earl of Egmont, was born in 1762.
After being educated at HarrowTrinity College,
Cambridge, he became a lawyer.
In 1796 Perceval was elected MP for Northampton. In
the House of Commons Perceval became a strong
supporter of William Pitt and the Tory group in
Parliament. When Henry Addington became Prime
Minister in 1801 he appointed Perceval as his
solicitor-general. The following year he was
promoted to attorney-general. When Lord
Portland became Prime Minister in 1807 he appointed
Perceval as his Chancellor of the Exchequer.
Perceval got on well with George III and loyally
supported the king's opposition to Catholic
Emancipation.
When Portland died in 1809, Spencer Perceval
accepted the king offer to become Prime Minister.
Perceval's period of power coincided with an
economic depression and considerable industrial
unrest. This resulted in his government introducing
repressive methods against the Luddites. This
included the Frame-Breaking Act
which made the destruction of machines a capital
offence. Perceval held the post until
1812 when he became the only British Prime
Minister in history to be assassinated. Spencer
Perceval was shot when entering the lobby of the
House of Commons by John Bellingham, a failed
businessman from Liverpool. Bellingham, who blamed
Perceval for his financial difficulties, was later
hanged for his crime.
THE OTHER BOMBS AT THE PALACE OF
WESTMINSTER
  1941
Hitler
Succeeded
Where
Guy Fawkes Failed
During the
second world war, the Palace of
Westminster was hit by bombs fourteen
times. The most serious attack occurred on
the night of 10-11 May 1941. On that night
the Palace was severely damaged, the
chamber of the House of Commons was
destroyed and three people were killed.
This picture below shows Members' Lobby
looking through into the Commons Chamber.
Between 1940
and 1941, both Houses of Parliament were
in fact convened at Church House in
Westminster due to a fear that the
Chambers might be bombed while the Houses
were sitting. The Palace was damaged by
air raids on fourteen different occasions
during the war. On 26 September 1940, a
bomb which fell into Old Palace Yard
caused severe damage to the south wall of
St Stephen's Porch and the masonry of the
west front.
The statue of Richard the Lionheart was
even lifted bodily from the pedestal, but
sustained only minor damage in the form of
a bent sword.On 8 December 1940, a bomb
demolished the south and east sides of the
Cloisters of St Stephen's and did
considerable damage to the other two sides
The incendiary bombs which fell on
the nights of 10 and 11 May 1941 caused the
greatest damage to the Palace. The Commons
Chamber was hit by bombs and the roof of
Westminster Hall was set on fire. The fire
service said that it would be impossible to
save both, so it was decided to concentrate on
saving the Hall.The Commons Chamber was
entirely destroyed by the fire which spread to
the Members' Lobby and caused the ceiling to
collapse. By the following morning, all that
was left of the Chamber was a smoking shell. A
small bomb struck the Clock Tower and broke
all the glass on its south face, but the clock
and bells were undamaged and the chimes could
be broadcast as usual.The House of Lords was
struck by a bomb which passed through the
floor of the Chamber without exploding.As the
Commons Chamber was totally destroyed and the
Lords Chamber was damaged, both Houses moved
to the Church House annexe and sat there from
13 May.From late June 1941 until October 1950,
the Commons met in the Lords Chamber, while
the Lords met in the Robing Room (a fact which
was kept secret during the war). To reach the
temporary Commons Chamber in the Lords, the
Speaker's Procession had to pass through the
Central Lobby. This proved such a popular
feature that the practice was retained after
the Commons moved back to its new Chamber in
1950.

1974: IRA bombs
parliament
 A bomb has
exploded at the Houses of Parliament,
causing extensive damage and injuring 11
people. The
IRA said it planted the 20 lb (9.1 kg) device
which exploded at about 0828 BST in a corner
of Westminster Hall. The explosion is suspected to
have fractured a gas main and a fierce fire
spread quickly through the centuries-old hall
in one of Britain's most closely-guarded
buildings. Scotland
Yard detectives have said they fear this
attack could herald the start of a new summer
offensive by the dissident Irish group on
government buildings. A man with an Irish accent
telephoned the Press Association with a
warning only six minutes before the explosion.
Police said a recognised IRA codeword was
given. Although
officers were not able to completely clear the
palace before the bomb went off, most of the
injured were only slightly hurt. Leader of the Commons Edward
Short announced a review of security
procedures would begin immediately, but he
said the attack would not disrupt
parliamentary business or intimidate MPs. Liberal Chief
Whip David Steel was in the building when
the device detonated and told the BBC the
damage looked considerable. "I looked through
Westminster Hall and the whole hall was
filled with dust. A few minutes later it was
possible to see flames shooting up through
the windows," he said.
1974 was one of the deadliest
years in the IRA's mainland bombing campaign.
In February a bomb
exploded on a coach carrying soldiers on the
M62, killing 12 people. A further 26 people died later
in the year in attacks on the Tower of London
and on pubs in Guilford and Birmingham.
The last Provisional
IRA attack on the British mainland was in
1996, but extremist splinter groups have
carried out bombings since then.

1979 AIREY
NEAVE KILLED
|
In 1979, Airey
Neave was blown up in his own car as he
drove from the car park at the House of
Commons. His legs were severed and he was
unrecognisable, though his black coat and
striped trousers identified him as a Tory
MP.
It was one
of the most serious assaults on the sanctity
of parliament since the Gunpowder Plot of
1605, and 30 years on the identity of Neave's
murderers is still uncertain and his death
remains unavenged.
The case caused
an enormous shock, for Neave was then a major
political figure. He was Margaret Thatcher's
eminence grise, and steered her to leadership.
More relevantly he was shadow Northern Ireland
secretary, a portfolio that he expected to be
his when Thatcher became prime minister.
But in a new
century Neave is almost forgotten. Paul
Routledge, with several other political
biographies behind him, makes in this book a
strenuous attempt to revive him and to lend to
his life a greater significance than it
possibly had. Public servant, yes; secret
agent, more dubious. Neave had links with the
intelligence community dating back to his war
service, but there seems no real proof he was
active in the field after he became an MP.
During World
War II, however, Neave may have established
one serious claim to historical fame. He saved
the Chartres cathedral from being blown to
pieces by American tanks during the liberation
of France, or so says the record in the parish
church of St Mary's, Oxfordshire, where he is
buried. According to this story, Neave arrived
at the place in front of the cathedral to find
the turret guns ready to fire because, the
Americans said, there were snipers in the
spire. Neave begged for five minutes' grace,
went into the cathedral unarmed, climbed up
the spiral staircase, and waved a handkerchief
to indicate there were no Germans there. A
remarkable story, and it is odd that Neave
does not mention it in his extensive memoirs.
Routledge's biography falls into three
parts. The first section draws heavily on
Neave's own account of his wartime experience
when, as a POW, he became the first Briton to
escape from the "impregnable" fortress of
Colditz. This event has been documented in
films, on television and in print, but still
makes good reading. He was then recruited to a
division of MI6, and set up the "ratlines"
which helped people escape from occupied
Europe.
Most people
will speed-read the second section of the book
which details Neave's parliamentary record,
though his plotting on behalf of Thatcher has
interest. ("I feel like a puppet whose strings
have been cut," she said after his murder.)
The third and most lively section, at
least to conspiracy theorists, can be
subtitled "Who killed Airey Neave?" Routledge
goes for the obvious suspect, the Irish
National Liberation Army (INLA), a small but
deadly breakaway from the IRA. In a risky
operation he made contact with INLA and spoke
to a masked man who gave details of the kill.
Republicans wanted Neave out of the way,
because as Ulster secretary, his policy would
have been no amnesty, shoot to kill, and
capital punishment for terrorism. INLA and the
IRA itself saw him as highly dangerous.
|
But
other theories abound. One is that Neave was
blown up by three "sleepers" who had no
known connection with republican activities
before or after the murder. It was a one-off
job done for patriotic reasons.
Even
more interesting is the theory that MI5 and
the CIA worked together to get rid of Neave.
The
chief exponent of this theory was Enoch
Powell, who maintained for many years that
the CIA had assassinated not only Neave but
also Lord Mountbatten. The reason? Neave was
determined to keep the six counties part of
Britain, the US Administration wanted a
united Ireland as a member of the Western
defence alliance.
As for
MI5 and MI6, Neave is said to have expressed
the opinion that they were Augean stables
that needed cleaning out and he intended to
do this when Thatcher was in government.
October
2009
The
Irish terror group is disbanding amid
claims the British Government has given it
more than £7million.The Irish National
Liberation Army - also thought to have a
hand in the Omagh bombing and the murder of
two British soldiers in Northern Ireland
this year - will pocket the taxpayers' money
over five years, it was claimed
yesterday.The alleged deal was revealed as
the Republican paramilitary group -
responsible for 113 murders - announced an
end to its 35-year campaign of violence. The
INLA said its 'armed struggle is over' and
it would pursue its objectives by
'exclusively peaceful political struggle'.
Security
sources in Ulster claimed the £7million
would be 'dressed up' as grants and funds
for community projects involving former
terrorists.

THE LORD MAYOR'S
SHOW
Henry Fitzailwyn was London's first
Lord Mayor in 1189 and the first Lord
Mayor's Show was in 1215. The reason for the
procession is for the Lord Mayor to pledge
his allegiance to the Crown (the current
king or queen).
The new
Lord Mayor is required to swear a pledge his
allegiance in front of the Lord Chief
Justice and Judges of the Queen's Bench
Division, hence the route from Mansion
House in the City of London (the
official residence of the Lord Mayor of
London) to the Royal Courts of Justice.
The Lord
Mayor's Show was the first event to be
broadcast live on television. The BBC
cameras film from Mansion
House each year to an audience of
millions.

good use. The Danson Park fireworks display takes

Cornwall
Traditional
Midsummer bonfires are still lit on some high hills in
Cornwall (see Carn Brea and Castle an Dinas, St.
Columb Major). This tradition was revived by the Old
Cornwall Society in the early 20th century. Bonfires
in Cornwall were once common as part of Golowan, which
is now celebrated at Penzance, Cornwall. This week
long festival normally starts on the Friday nearest St
John's Day. Golowan lasts several days and culminates
in Mazey Day. This is a revival of the Feast of St
John (Gol-Jowan) with fireworks and bonfires. This
list pertains to the Guy Fawkes Tradition.

Carnival
heritage
wins £41,000 lottery grant
11:00 - 15-July-2010
The Carnivals In Somerset Promotion
Project group has made a successful
bid for Heritage Lottery funding to
promote and conserve the history of
the area's famous illuminated
carnivals. A Heritage Lottery Fund
grant of £41,000 has been secured to
develop a range of facilities and
key element will be a mobile
exhibition unit, due to make its
first appearance on Wells Cathedral
Green on August 4. It will then be
touring the county and elsewhere.The
exhibition van will display the
history, heritage, culture and
community of the carnivals through
images, video, text and memorabilia.
The van also has a recording
facility to collect oral histories
and memories. Anyone with carnival
memorabilia is invited to bring it
along. A carnival DVD and
educational package for schools is
being prepared.
The Carnivals in Somerset Promotion
Project (CISPP), was formed by
volunteers in January 2009, in
response to concerns that the
heritage of Somerset's illuminated
carnivals could be lost unless more
people are encouraged to take part
in the tradition.The carnivals bring
in an estimated £40 million of
tourist and other revenue each year.
Around 10,000 people are thought to
be involved in carnival and there
are more than 50 float clubs and
another 100 or so other clubs who
enter as walking groups or
individuals.
The origins of carnivals in Somerset
can be traced back to the famous
Gunpowder Plot of 1605, when Guy
Fawkes and his fellow conspirators
failed in their attempt to blow up
the Houses of Parliament. King James
I and his parliament decreed that
the events of November 5 should be
commemorated annually with the
lighting of bonfires which led to a
tradition of merrymaking out which
the carnivals were born. The
Bridgwater Carnival (the oldest
event of its kind in the UK) can be
traced back to 1847 through
journalistic records.
|
|
The
Somerset
Carnivals
are highly regarded as
the largest illuminated
processions in the
world.
They occur late on in
the year at various
locations including:
Bridgwater,
Burnham-on-Sea, Chard,
Ilminster, Glastonbury,
North Petherton, Shepton
Mallet, Taunton,
Wellington, Wells,
Weston-Super-Mare, and
Yeovil.
The carnivals in
Somerset date back to
400 years, and are one
of the most spectacular
events in Somerset
today. In some of the
bigger locations (such
as Bridgwater), you can
expect to see crowds of
more than 120,000.
The carnival floats (or
carts as they are
sometimes referred as),
are designed and built
by dedicated carnival
clubs around the West
Country.
These carnival clubs
have many members who
raise money throughout
the year, and work
relentlessly to achieve
the spectacular carnival
entries. The carnival
floats take part in the
carnival parade along
with other entries;
these range from clowns
dancing in the streets
to 100ft illuminated
carnival floats (some
with up to 30,000 light
bulbs) pulled by
tractors.
The timing of the West
Country Carnival close
to the British
celebration of Bonfire
night is no coincidence,
as the roots of the
original carnival in
Bridgwater date back to
1605. Guy Fawkes
is the character most
associated with the plot
to blow up the Houses of
Parliament, however the
instigator was Jesuit
priest Robert Parsons
from Nether Stowey, a
short distance from
Bridgwater. Parsons and
his colleagues were
Catholics who wanted to
put an end to the
Protestant King James VI
and Parliament of the
day, in order to put an
end to catholic
persecution, hence they
planned their ill-fated
attempt on 5 November
1605.
Bonfire night is a major
annual celebration
across the whole of
England, but it is
likely that the reason
that the West Country
Carnival was originally
so keenly celebrated is
that the South West
towns were predominantly
Protestant — hence the
celebration of Robert
Parsons' (and Guy
Fawkes') failure. The
religious origins of the
event are almost
forgotten and far less
significant today |
The
Carnival Circuit
The Bridgwater carnival was
the first carnival of its type,
however other carnival processions
within the South West began some years
ago. They start in late August and
continue until late November. The
oldest and largest circuit is the
Somerset County Guy Fawkes Carnival
Association Circuit which starts at
Bridgwater, with many of the carts
will appear in all of the carnivals.
Prizes are awarded in several
categories for the best carts in each
carnival.
The three circuits are:
* Wessex Grand Prix
Circuit: Sturminster Newton, the third
Thursday in August/weekend before Bank
Holiday; Trowbridge; Mere; Frome;
Shaftesbury; Gillingham; Castle Cary
& Ansford; Wincanton; Warminster
* South Somerset
Federation Of Carnival Committee
Circuit: Wellington held on the last
Saturday in September; Ilminster;
Chard; Taunton; Yeovil
* Somerset County
Guy Fawkes Carnival Association
Circuit: Bridgwater on the Friday
following the nearest Thursday to 5
November; North Petherton on the
following Saturday; Burnham-on-Sea on
the following Monday; Shepton Mallet
on the following Wednesday; Wells on
the following Friday; Glastonbury
& Chilkwell on the following
Saturday; Weston-super-Mare on the
following Monday, the last carnival in
the whole circuit. From 2012 this will
change with Bridgwater on the first
Saturday after 5 November,
Weston-super-Mare on the following
Friday, North Petherton on the second
Saturday, Burnham-on-Sea on the
following Monday, Shepton Mallet on
the following Wednesday, Wells on the
third Friday and Glastonbury on the
third Saturday.
[edit] Carts and floats
Uniquely in the West Country, the
vehicles are called carnival "carts",
unlike other carnivals where the term
carnival float is used. The term
"cart" is still used today to describe
the large and elaborate trailers used
in the procession. Carts are built by
local clubs of individuals funded
totally by charitable donations and
sponsorship from local businesses.
|
Carts are always
themed, with no restriction on the
theme from the organising committee.
Regularly chosen themes include:
* Popular
children's books - like Alice in
Wonderland
* Favourite
children's characters - such as Disney
characters
* Scenes or themes
from history - like Pre-Historic,
Victorian or famous Battles
* Scenes or themes
from around the world - such as
Australia, Rio de Janeiro or Spanish
* Travel and
transport - such as cars or trains,
e.g. The Chattanooga Choo-Choo
* Popular themes of
the day - including pop songs or
dances
* The future or
exploration - such as space
Carts include both music and costumed
people to complete their theme. People
and items on the cart can either be
moving, or static in tableau format -
the later being difficult to hold
position for on a cold November
evening.
Today these carts are driven by farm
tractors, and usually also tow a large
diesel driven electricity generator to
provide the huge amount of power
required to power the carts. Some
generators used can provide over one
megawatt of power, with 10,000 to
30,000 light bulbs not uncommon on a
modern day cart.[8] The tractors
themselves are often decorated to
match the rest of the cart and
generator, and in some cases modified
so that the driver is positioned low
down between the two front wheels.
This allows for a higher degree of
decoration without obscuring the
driver's view. The length of the
entire cart is often built to the
maximum allowable of 100 feet (30 m).
These floats are also interspersed
with walking exhibits, either groups
or singles, and occasional marching
bands or majorette troupes.

Bridgwater [route/map]
The
origins
of our annual carnival in Bridgwater
can be traced back to the Gunpowder
Plot of 1605 when Guy Fawkes and his
fellow conspirators, failed in their
attempt to blow up the Houses of
Parliament. That story is well known
to everyone, but what is not so widely
acknowledged is that it was King James
1st and his parliament who decreed
that the events of 5 November should
be commemorated annually with the
lighting of bonfires, a tradition
which is celebrated across the nation
to this very day.

Burnham-on-Sea /
Highbridge [route/map]
In
the late 1800s and contininuing into
the 1900s Burnham celebrated November
5th with a bonfire in the High Street
to which were rolled blazing tar
barrels. In about 1907/8 there were
concerns about safety and it was
decided to have the bonfire on a field
and a torchlight procession
starting in the High Street and
processing to the bonfire field. Thus
in 1909 Burnham had its first
Torchlight Carnival Procession. This
format
continued until the outbreak of World
War One ,and the carnival did not
return until 1923.It then continued as
an evening carnival until 1939, when
an afternoon procession was held. Festivities
were
cocooned until 1947 and the event grew
in size and popularity to become one
of the most popular carnivals in
Essex.Afternoon events were held on
the Mildmay Ironworks Field and there
were madi gras type events in the High
Street after the procession. In the
1950s a full Funfair was introduced
into the High Street and this remained
until 1966. There were
problems in this year and the
following year an small afternoon
procession was organised .1967 saw an
Evening procession back,now at the end
of September and much curtailed from
pre-1966. Subsequent
committees have built that carnival up
to what you now see today, with one of
the most successful Carnivals in the
South East of England.

Castle Cary
The
Castle
Cary & Ansford Carnivals take
place annually in October. Our
Children’s Carnival usually takes
place on the afternoon of the second
Saturday, when children and parents
process through Castle Cary town
centre. The Illuminated Carnival takes
places on the evening of the following
Saturday.Around the
time of the Illuminated Carnival, a
fun fair is in town, and high street
traders compete in a window-dressing
competition. The Carnival Committee
produces a 64-page Carnival
Programme,on sale locally, which
provides information about the
Carnival, serves as a directory to the
local businesses that advertise in it,
and includes competitions. On our
pages you will see line drawings that
have appeared in our Programmes, drawn
by Committee member Pam Pope. On the
evening of the procession there are
barbeques, hog roasts, and other hot
food and drinks around the town.

Chard
(route/map)
In
1967,
representatives
from the League of Friends and Chard
Youth Centre met to discuss ways in
which to raise money for the
respective groups. Gerald Quick,
Mervyn Ball, Tom Miller and Wendy
Clulow decided that the best option
would be to revive Chard Carnival,
after a break of 13 years. The
carnival is now in its 43rd year and
has raised over £85,000 pounds for
local charities and organisations,
including Chard Christmas Lights,
Children’s Hospice South West, Chard
Hospital and all the local schools. In
the early 1970’s, Chard, Ilminster,
Wellington and Taunton formed the
South Somerset Federation of
Carnivals, with Yeovil joining at a
later date. This provided a
competition for the best entries from
the 5 towns taking part.

Shore,

"It was felt that due to the current
climate and the difficulty in fund
raising, obtaining sponsorship, the
cost of public-liability insurance and
new rulings on health and safety, it
would be impossible to commit to
staging this event with the limited
funds the committee had in reserve
following the disastrous summer last

at the carnival in December

Frome
Carnival
has
been in Frome since 1929 having been
founded by Mr Alan Bennett together
with others who worked at that time
for Butler and Tanners, a local
printing firm who are still one of the
main employers in the town. Frome
carnival grew in popularity over the
years and this was aided by the fact
that Mr Bennets daughter Hazel met and
married Mr Roy Butler M.B.E. he became
known as "Mr Carnival" and was well
known in the community for his
dedication to the carnival charity
which was formed to help local people
in need.

Glastonbury
[route/map]
Glastonbury,
with
Bridgwater,
is the biggest. At each carnival there
are collections to raise money for
charities.The Carnival takes over the
town for one day, starting at around
7.30 in the evening. Thousands of
people pour in from near and far,
traffic is closed off, and the town
reeks of hot dog stands and outdoor
snack bars. People line the streets,
all wrapped up against the cold, and
the Carnival floats weave through
town. It's quite a close-and-friendly
affair. Apart from crowds in the
streets, people hold parties in houses
along the route and the pubs fill up
after the event. Kids love it -
there's a fairyland element to it,
even though the high-volume music
makes it a little, shall we say,
modern!

North Petherton
[route/map]
North
Petherton
Guy
Fawkes Carnival, was formed in 1948,
and joined the Somerset County Guy
Fawkes Carnival Association in
1952,and is regarded by many of our
thousands of spectators, as the family
carnival. This is due mainly to the
fact that it held on a Saturday night,
which allows the youngsters to stay up
a little later than normal. The other
reason is that is runs straight
through the town of North Petherton,
Somerset, with no awkward turns,
causing unnecessary hold ups. As
with thousands of visitors converged
into our small town emergencies will
always happen and no amount of
planning will not eliminatethis,
please be patient as the emergency
services will deal with theses as soon
as possible, and allow the carnival to
resume, if they need to be
on
the route. North
Petherton
Guy Fawkes Carnival, offers ample
viewing throughout the whole route,
which allows even the youngest and
eldest of our visitors,
to
watch this marvelous spectacle of
light, sound and movement. We
do not charge for admission to one of
the three, largest illuminated
carnivals in the world, however a
street collection will take place
during the carnival
itself, by numerous collectors and
collecting vehicles, proceeds of
which, go towards the running of the
carnival, prize money and finally
the local charities of which we
support. We are always grateful for
any amount we collect, however our
collections have equated to only 30p a
head. With over three
hours of entertainment from the
dedicated entrants and the cost for
them to build these exquisite entries,
we urge you to give at least £3
per head from your group of friends or
family, and secure the future of North
Petherton Carnival for future
generations, to marvel over.

Shaftesbury
Carnival
is an annual event that has become

great achievement that involves
hundreds of people to make it such a
great success. A lot of people give
their time voluntarily including
people driving Courtesy cars for our
Mayor and retiring royal family,
collecting vehicles who turn out year
after year, the many marshals that
walk miles back and forth, the owners
of the land at our assembly areas, who
are always most helpful and of course,
our sponsors for their continued
financial support, without which the
Carnival could not survive. There are
more too numerous to mention, so thank

Shepton Mallet
[route/map]
The
origins
of Shepton Mallet’s carnival are some
what unique. It all began because the
town needed a community centre. In the
early 1960s the Shepton Mallet
Community Association was inaugurated
to raise funds for the
project.Organisations from across the
town and surrounding villages pulled
together and it was agreed that
bringing carnival to Shepton Mallet
was one way to draw in much needed
funds.A Carnival committee was set up
in 1965 and carnival came to Shepton
Mallet. Over the following decades,
thousands of pounds have been raised
for local charities, unfortunately
donations to the community centre fund
were stopped when it was realised that
for various reasons the centre would
not be set up.Mr Bob Kerslake and Mrs
Maura Kerslake were amongst the
founder members with Mr Lionel Edwards
as chairman an office he held for
thirty years this he handed over to
Don Clifford who remains as chairman
at the present time. In the years that
followed, from 1965 the sponsorship
raised by the carnival queens and
princesses has done much to cover the
running costs, with street collections
making up the balance to cover costs
and make donations yearly to local
clubs and charities.Over the years the
carnival grew and in 1978 there were a
record 151 entries. It was at this
stage that the decision was made to no
longer plough money into the community
centre fund, there still being no
visible progress on that project. In
fact Shepton Mallet 30 years later
still does not have a community hall.

The
Wells
Carnival is a spectacle not to be
missed. It is said be the biggest
illuminated carnival in the world.
These huge floats make their way
slowly through the medieval streets
intertwined with street performers
with highly inventive and stunning
costumes. As it is dark at this time
of year the blaze of colourful lights,
music, dancing and beautifully
tailored costumes on these floats
creates a unique and exciting
atmosphere. The tableau floats usually
depict a scene with all the performers
in a fixed pose effectively creating a
living picture.
The carnival is Free to see and
all these floats are created by
enthusiasts who are raising money for
Charity.
The 2010 Wells carnival is
scheduled to take place on Friday 12th
November at 7.00pm and is a must see
for anyone planning to come to the
area. There is also a fun fair
in the market place.

WESTON-SUPER-MARE
ILLUMINATED
CARNIVAL, A SPECTACLE OF LIGHT, MUSIC

records concerning Weston super Mare
November Carnival go back to
1871. In those days it was usual
for the Parade to start at the
Knightstone Island and after wending
its way through almost every street in
the town, it dispersed on the beach,
where bonfires were lit and effigies
burned. These were not only Guy
Fawkes, but any unpopular figure of
local disdain or even international
infamy.This year approximately 100,000
spectators are expected to line the
route around the town. There will be
around 130 entries, of which 50 will
be large illuminated floats up to 100
feet long and up to 17 feet high.

The torchlight
procession takes place as follows: There are 400

basis at £5 each. The torches are sold by members of the
Committee from the local school in an unlit form. This
process is strictly supervised and sales are only made
to adults (those over 18), it is made clear at the time
that adults must ensure that children are not allowed to
carry the torches. The public are asked to queue orderly
where the money is passed over for the torches and the
torches are then lit outside the waiting area, again
under the supervision of a marshal Warning and Safety
Notices are displayed at the point of sale on
Fluorescent Yellow A4 Paper. Once all the torches have
been handed out and lit, the procession is led by a
mobile p.a system along the road system and onto the
village green where the torch carriers are marshalled
around the exterior of the exclusion zone (roped off
area) until all members of the torch procession are
around the fire. At that time the fire is lit with the
torches and once again the torch bearers are marshalled
away from the area using three metre wide exit zones
which are moveable based upon the wind direction. After
the fire has been lit the exclusion zone remains in
place and is marshalled at all times to ensure that no

Sussex
Not many places have stronger bonfire
traditions than Sussex. Where in other places,
celebrations of the Gunpowder Plot have dwindled to
be little more than suburban garden fires and boxed
fireworks, the enormous bonfires and stunning
fireworks displays across Sussex continue.Sussex
bonfires kick off in October and continue through
November. Many of the county’s towns and
villages have their own bonfire societies, which
organise their event every year. Bonfire
societies tour around the county taking part in the
torchlight processions in each town and village.Many
of the societies are long established, although
Lewes in the oldest of the Sussex
organisations. The Lewes societies originated
in the 17th century after the 5 November
celebrations across the county spiralled out of
control and became riotous, drunken events, which
sparked a crackdown by authorities. Bonfire
societies were formed to bring the bonfire boys, and
their events into some kind of order.Sussex bonfires
began to take a more organised form in the 19th
century, after an unsuccessful attempt by police to
put a stop to the celebrations. This is when
the Sussex bonfires became organised torch-lit
processions accompanied by drummers and banners,
like we know them today. Many of the societies
dropped their distinctive disguises for more
elaborate fancy dress. Each of the societies
still have their own ‘uniform’, which often gives
clues to how the society was formed.
In 1066 Country, the Hastings, Battle and Rye
bonfire societies play big parts in the gunpowder
season, organising events that draw tens of
thousands of people to the area celebrate bonfire
night in spectacular fashion.

Saturday 11th
September sees this year’s second Sussex Bonfire
procession of the year, with a trip to one of the
highest places in Sussex, Crowborough. The main event
of the evening gets underway at 7pm, when wreaths are
laid at the war memorial, which I believe is at All
Saints Church, next to the green.The procession gets
underway at 7:30, from Chapel Green, just after the
crowning of the carnival queen at 7:15. After leaving
the green at 7:15, two hours of processing through the
streets of the town get underway, with a long ramble
right round the town, which last year was in the area
south of Crowborough Hill and took in a refreshment
stop at the Bricklayers Arms in Whitehill Road, but
the details of which can be found in the programme,
which is available in the town. The route of the
procession will take the procession of torches and
floats through the streets and back to the Chapel
Green area for about 9:30pm.

If you want to
support and up and coming bonfire society, then maybe
Eastbourne will be the night for you. Reformed
after a long absence in 2001, Eastbourne is a small yet
friendly society, who can be seen with their distinctive
banner and unevenly spaced Guernsey stripes at all of
the main events in Sussex.Advertising themselves as a
family friendly event, the discharging of rook scarers,
flares and other scary things in the procession is
strictly prohibited and the procession will actually
take place along the promenade in the town, rather than
along the road. It’s no great secret in bonfire circles
that Eastbourne have had a hard time with the council,
who have made it difficult even for torches to be
part of the procession in the past, I believe citing
reasons such as “fire risk to buildings” as an excuse
not to have a torchlit procession. The procession will
leave about 7:30 from Silverdale Cross and end with an
explosive firework display and beacon on the beach
around 8:30, behind the bandstand, so a nice early one
and good for the kids, with the added advantage that the
area is well lit and policed, making it one of the
safest events on the calendar. One final note, it is
illegal to drink on the streets in Eastbourne, and
accordingly drinking is prohibited both in the
procession and in the crowd. |

Nevill Juvenile Bonfire Society was formed, almost by
accident, in 1967, when two local men had their own
bonfires destroyed before the 5th November, and
decided to have a community bonfire, with forty of
their friends and 50 torches, along with fireworks and
a small set piece, on the local allotments.Within two
years the society were using 1500 torches in four
processions and within five years they had over 500
members. Today the society marches with a large
number of visiting societies, making an impressive
snake around the Nevill estate, headed up with their
own colourful costumes and green and white striped
guernseys. Topical cartoon or toy related tabs
are usually the order of the day with Nevill, last
year a giant Lego Batman was hauled through the
streets to meet a firey, explosive end, in recognition
of the 50th birthday of Lego and the Batman film, the
Dark Knight, which had been released earlier in the
year. Events kick off at six when the first procession
forms up in Highdown Road for a march to the green,
where poppies will be lit and the Martyrs’ Memorial
will also be set off. The Last Post will be
played and there will be a minutes silence, before the
procession returns to Highdown Road. At half seven the
main procession will form up and leave at around
quarter to eight. Taking around seventy five
minutes, it will wind its way around most of Nevill
before heading down to The Green and up the Nevill
Road to the firesite at Landport Bottom, which,
confusingly, is neither where the Landport Estate is
or the bottom of anywhere! It’s more commonly
known as “The Race Hill” and it’s where Borough
Bonfire have their fireworks on the fifth! After the
fireworks have completed the final procession will
form up in Highdown Road, do a loop of Firle Crescent
and Mount Harry Road before returning the the
headquarters for Bonfire Prayers! Don’t forget to
support Nevill by buying a programme, which are
available from the shops on the estate and by paying
the small £3 charge for adults to enter the
firesite. Don’t forget that accompanied kids are
free! There will be a collection for charities
along the route, please don’t forget to give
generously!

Firle
23 October 2010 |
Firle, who have a long
history and are the only big society that don’t invite
other societies to attend their procession. Not
because they are an unfriendly lot, but because there
are so many members and such a small village, that there
just would be room for everyone! Famous for its
fire banners coming down the hill, Firle is a great
destination, but being small, it’s often overcrowded,
so hopefully the clash with Fletching this year
will help relieve some of this. Winner of the
“Where In Sussex Best Bonfire Brew” in 2005, I will be
sad to not be attending this year. There is
usually a charge for parking at Firle Place and the
fireworks are always spectacular. Those heading to
Firle hoping for something controversial will be sadly
disappointed, as Firle bonfire is, as it always has
been, a celebration for the villagers of Firle. |

Lewes
Bonfire Night celebrations
5 November 2010 |
Massive
annual bonfire event takes place throughout the town,
organised by several local bonfire societies. There are
seven different Bonfire Societies in Lewes, each with
their own marching procession, bonfire and
firework display. From 5pm Lewes will be closed to
traffic. Be warned that roads in the town are closed and
there are no parking facilities. You may also have a
long wait on public transport. Most processions
take place between 7pm and 9.30pm on the High
Street. From about 10.15pm the societies return from
their fire sites and from 11pm most have their final
processions leading to 'bonfire prayers' to round off
the evening. Very large crowds expected (around
150,000 people come to Lewes to watch the celebrations).
Unsuitable for small children and pets. Note : Lewes
Bonfire Council urge people from outside the Lewes
locality to celebrate in their own area due to travel
problems and very crowded streets.

This
is a list of all of the active sussex
bonfire societies outside Lewes , with a
little bit of info on each one , this will
go some way in explaining how fiercely the
bonfire tradition is upheld in this neck of
the woods. All but one or two by the way are
in East Sussex . . Why ?
. . Not all of them have their own bonfire
night celebration , google the society if
want more information and most of them have
their own bonfire night celebrations
different to the " Fifth "Why ?
. . . Me Thinks it has got something to do
with the Harvest Festival , Cinque Ports
Confederation and the freedom to roam at
night during the close cross English Channel
fighting season and the many fire beacons
raised in Sussex to warn of advancing
enemies , Many of the older societies are
either on a hill , coast or surrounded by
fertile farmland used to serve Lewes.
The wimpy Spanish and French would not
normally dare to try and cross the channel
in choppy waters from September onwards , So
we English lit fires and took to the streets
and celebrated our freedom.French Invasions
, Spanish Armada , Sussex Martyrs , Guy
Fawkes , Pagan and Harvest Festivals . Think
about it ! . See the bonfire night dates
