An amateur film recording residents from the village of Skinningrove working to prepare for the first of what would become an annual Bonfire Night celebrations in 1982 by building a reproduction of the Houses of Parliament on the nearby beach as part of the Guy Fawkes Festival. On Skinningrove beach a group of men work to construct a bonfire structure using planks of wood which are being nailed to a frame and painted. Nearby a group of other people stand around chatting with some of the workers. A woman, possibly Doff Pollard, speaks to a group standing in front of her. Back on the beach a clockface painted onto a large piece of cloth laying on the ground. Work on the bonfire structure continues with people coming and going. At dusk and the now completed structure in the shape of the Houses of Parliament. Over views of the structure people hanging lanterns from a wire.
