Happy Guy Fawkes Night!

The Digs Team would like to wish all our tenants a Happy Guy Fawkes Night!
Here are some interesting facts about Guy Fawkes night:
1 – Bonfire night is also known as Guy Fawkes Night. It is celebrated on the 5th of November because Guy Fawkes was caught in a gunpowder plot underneath Parliament with 36 barrels of gunpowder.
2 – In Britain, it was once illegal not to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night. This was until 1959 when the rule was scrapped.
3 – During the war, no one was allowed to set off fireworks or light bonfires. This is because it would show the enemies where they were. However, was it was illegal not to celebrate, people had to celebrate indoors.
4 – Fireworks were invented by accident in China. A chef mixed charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter together, it burned in a bamboo tube and exploded.
5 – St Peters School is the only school in the UK not to celebrate bonfire night in respect for their former pupil Guy Fawkes.

Digs Swansea x Swansea University Hockey Team Renewed Partnership

October 4, 2026

We are really pleased to be sponsoring Swansea Hockey Club for another academic year. The club is one that is particularly close to our hearts, as a few members of our own team actually played for Swansea Hockey Club when they were students. So, for us, it’s lovely to be able to give something back to a club that was such a big part of their university experience. And, Swansea Hockey Club members get exclusive access to our properties at the start of the academic year and throughout. We wish the team well on their next season! #UppaSwans
