If you find yourself in Blighty on 5 November and need an excuse to eat burnt sausages while watching the sky light up, here are five great fireworks displays to commemorate one of history's biggest failures. Bless him, that Guy Fawkes. Plus readers post their favourites. So that's more than five displays and a whole lot more sausages ...

Brockwell Park, London
What is it about 7.30pm? Anyway, one of south London's loveliest parks plays host to a much hyped display, kicking off at, yes you've guessed it, 7.30pm sharp. With a great view of London from the top of the park, it should be a pretty quality showing.

Lewes, East Sussex
This is the big one. With six different bonfire sites, processions and legendary displays, bonfire night in Lewes is nothing short of epic. Roads will be closed from 5pm until midnight but the disruption and military planning you'll have to engage with will most definitely be worth it.

Bude, Cornwall
The annual display from the Bude RFC starts at 6.30pm with the fireworks letting rip at 7pm. There is a fee but after a couple of glasses of mulled wine you'll forget all about that. Plus being so close to the sea give the celebrations a lovely twist.

Denbigh, north Wales
Posted by Nick Powell
Denbigh's 800- year-old castle, sitting atop the hill upon which the
old town Denbigh is situated, is the setting of a spectacular display,
the fireworks being set off from the castle walls. Many people
attend but this display will also be clear from up and down the Vale
of Clwyd. Starts at 7:00pm

Victoria Park, London
Posted by Peter Josse
Does it have to be on 5 November asks Peter? Well, if I'm being pedantic then yes, BUT having said that if there's a corker - like this one in London's East End which explodes into action at 7.30pm and which last year blew up a model of the Houses of Parliament, then I can make an exception. Thanks for the tip off!

Winterfest by David Gibson

Drumchapel and West Winterfest, Glasgow
Posted by David Gibson
According to David this is Guy Fawkes' night best kept secret, except it's now in its fourth year so obviously someone knows about it. A fireworks extravaganza which also weaves music effortlessly into the night with the likes of the Bay City Rollers and S Club 3 (your guess is as good as mine) into the mix. Running from 4.45pm to 9pm in Drumchapel Park, Howgate Avenue, G15 8LY.

Roundwood Park, north London
Posted by Shaun Faulkner
In a massive and blatant plug here is Shaiun Faulkner's fireworks tip: Roundwood park, Harlesden, NW10 tonight, gates open 6.00pm show starts 8.00pm prompt, DJ’s, good food, fair rides, entrance ‘FREE’ best show in North London a la Brent Council! Please no animals or own fireworks or you will be refused entry.
But there's something I like about being blatant so I kept it in anyway ...
