When exactly did the gunpowder plot take place?

The Gunpowder Plot took place on November 5, 1605. This conspiracy involved a group of English Catholics, including Guy Fawkes, who aimed to assassinate King James I and blow up the House of Lords in an attempt to end Protestant rule. The plot was foiled on the night of November 4, leading to Fawkes' capture and subsequent execution. The event is commemorated annually in the UK as Guy Fawkes Night.
