About the event

Experience a unique, wildlife-friendly Bonfire Night at Mere Sands Wood. Unlike other bonfire nights, there will be no fireworks or loud rides, making it suitable for those that like a traditional bonfire night, people with young children, and children and adults with sensory sensitivities and also those with Dogs.

We will have live music from a local acoustic artist and our shop and café will be open and serving hot and cold refreshments as well as sweet treats and desserts.

The bonfire will be constructed from conservation byproducts, ensuring a responsible and eco-friendly experience, located on an island next to our lake and will be viewable from the café and seating areas outside including areas of covered space.
