Bonfire Night on the 5th of November is one of the best British occasions for a gathering. Here is how to plan it well.
A full fireworks display requires planning, space and budget. For most gardens, sparklers plus a trip to a local organised display is the practical choice. Display our free sparkler safety rules wherever you hand them out.
Hot food is essential. Jacket potatoes, hot dogs, toffee apples, parkin, and a hot drinks station (hot chocolate, mulled cider, tomato soup) keep everyone warm. Our free hot drinks menu dresses the station nicely.
Clear the garden of trip hazards before dark. Keep a bucket of water for used sparklers. Have a mobile phone accessible. Remind guests the bonfire (if you have one) is adults only near the front.
