Please remember the fifth of November, 
Gunpowder season and plot,
I see no reason why gunpowder season
Should ever be forgot.

So the poem went when Guy Fawkes and his partners in crime nearly succeeded in blowing up the Houses of Parliament and everyone in it, but they were of course just stopped before they could do it.

If you're looking for an experience for a couple of history lovers, you could look at The Gunpowder Plot Immersive Experience for Two at The Tower Vaults

The Gunpowder Plot Immersive Experience for Two at The Tower Vaults - Peak
£110.00 from Virgin Experience Days

 

It's 1605, and London is divided, with the peace of the nation balancing on knife edge.  Step into a world where spies and informants hide in the shadows.  Trust nobody as you go undercover and unmask the figures behind this infamous plot.  Try to escape the Tower, discover a secret safehouse - and make the journey to the Hosues of Parliament along the Thames.

You're immersed in a fully 360 environment with live theatre and digital technology - will you have what it takes to stop the plot?

Now, some scenes are very dark with loud noises, which some children may not like, so minimum age for this experience is 10 and under 16s must be accompanied by a paying adult.
