K8 in an N, so Saints' works.

However, there are no letters for All or Day to connect to.

Does every word have to have a letter connect with in a full correct title? I was just trying to keep it in one line. (You let me get away with Port Royal Sound. )
Will re-evaluated and split it up.
I guess I will have to split up Guy Fawkes Night as well.

Please put this one in for now.
22nd November Feast Day of St. (M11-17) Cecilia, patron saint of musicians and organ builders.

Oops!
I got confused because you split it into three separate entries. You wrote Port Royal Sound as a single entry.
As a single entry it is fine.

Ah sorry. I have now edited the old entry.
Note to self don't split word groups.

Old entry has now been edited.

Lets see if i get it right this time.

5th November
(L01-16) Guy Fawkes Night
Bonfire Night (5th Nov) is the most widespread and flourishing of all British customs.
The day was declared a holiday by decree of Parliament after Parliament was saved from being blown up by Guy Fawkes in the Gunpowder Plot of 1605.
Until 1859, all parish churches were required to hold services this day. Unlike today, celebrations were heard throughout the day, with bells ringing, cannons firing and beer flowing.

11th Nov (E10-18) Martinmas Day

The Feast of St Martin, Martinmas was a time for celebrations with great feasts and hiring fairs, at which farm labourers would seek new posts.

It was also the time when autumn wheat seedling was usually completed in many places, including the south of Derbyshire. Here it was the farmer's custom to provide a cakes-and-ale feast for workers. These special cakes were made with seeds and whole grains, and called Hopper Cakes.

Tradition food eaten on Martinmas: Beef was the day's traditional meat dish.

(Martinmas today: Since 1918 the 11th has been commemorated as Armistice Day, and all remnants of the old Martinmas celebrations have disappeared.)
