Bonfire in Tewkesbury

Bonfires (controlled outdoor fires used for informal disposal of burnable waste materials or as part of a celebration) are typically designed to burn quickly and may be very large.

The English term bonfire is attested from the 15th century, as banefire "bone-fire", originally of fires in which the bones of slaughtered animals were burned, allegedly a Gaelic tradition of the slaughter season in autumn.
In Great Britain and some Commonwealth countries, bonfires are lit on Guy Fawkes Night, a yearly celebration held on the evening of 5 November to mark the failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 5 November 1605, in which a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, attempted to destroy the House of Lords in London.
