On the 5th November each year, thousands of people from across the United Kingdom traditionally light bonfires, watch firework displays and light sparklers to celebrate Bonfire Night.

While organised bonfires and firework events remain popular, a growing number of people are seeking alternative ways to mark the occasion without the big bangs.

Firepit moments under the stars

Each of our self-catered holiday cottages boasts its own outdoor fire pit. Cosy up underneath the stars and roast marshmallows to perfection. Combine them with a chocolate digestive for a classic s’more, the perfect Bonfire Night treat.

Games for the whole family

Did you know that each of our properties come with a selection of indoor and outdoor games for endless hours of family fun? For a themed ‘Bonfire Night’ game, we suggest ‘Hot Potato’ – a classic party game that is easy to prepare.

 

With just a single potato, a group can gather around the fire to find out who will be left holding the ‘hot potato’! Start the game with one person holding the potato, and start the music – throwing the potato from person to person and continue around the circle. Whoever is left holding the hot potato when the music stops, is out. Continue playing until the last remaining player claims their victory.
