The Guy Fawkes tradition in Kilkeel stretches back well over 100 years, when annually Guy Fawkes Bonfire Night was a huge occasion in our town. Of course, the target of the Gunpowder Plot was King James I, who after surviving Guy Fawkes’ Plot went onto oversee the Plantation of Ulster and the arrival of thousands of Scots in Ulster.
We’re really looking forward to building upon last year’s Guy Fawkes Night event and celebrating in style once again this year! 
This is a 𝐅𝐑𝐄𝐄 family event and everyone is more than welcome to join with us in our celebrations! 
(Please note - There will be also be stalls in attendance selling hot drinks, food and refreshments and the traders will be charging for these during the event).
If your child would like to take part in the Children’s Torchlight parade, please get in contact with us...
