Bonfire Night on the 5th commemorates the failure of the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 and remains one of the most widely marked dates in the British year without being a holiday at all. Organised displays are frequently held on the nearest Friday or Saturday rather than the date itself, so local listings matter more than the calendar does.
The 30 days of November 2029 lose nothing to a bank holiday in England, Wales or Northern Ireland. Scotland subtracts one at the very end of the month for St Andrew's Day, with the day off moving to the following Monday where the 30th lands on a weekend.
November 2029 closes with the Christmas run-up fully under way and the shortest days still ahead. December follows with two bank holidays, the solstice on the 21st, the end of the school term and the turn of the calendar year.
