The Gunpowder Plot tells the story of Robert Catesby, Thomas Winter and Thomas Percy who plotted with Guy Fawkes to blow up the House of Commons. Their plan is simple, hire a cellar under the chamber and pack it with explosives and wait. Find out how their cunning plot is foiled and what happens to Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators.
Learn why we celebrate the 5th of November each year with fireworks and bonfire parties.
