Make your Bonfire Night go off with a Bang

Ensure your party this Bonfire Night is memorable for all of the right reasons, there’s no good throwing an amazing party only for it to end in tears. That’s why health and safety should always be your first consideration.

Bonfire Night should be fun, but it’s important to remember that fireworks are explosives not toys. Burnt fingers, burnt toes and injured pets are just a few of the sad things that a poorly planned party can result in. Follow these simple tips to stay injury-free and have a bonfire party that goes off with a bang!

• Think safety first! Before the fun starts you need to think about how you’re going to make the fun safe. For starters, you will need to ensure you have a viewing distance of at least 8 metres for firework displays in your garden

• Keep your fireworks in a closed box and store them well away from naked flames, including cigarettes

• If you’re giving a child a sparkler, light each sparkler individually and make sure the child is wearing gloves. Always supervise them and never give sparklers to a child under five

• Choose a range of fireworks for your display. Mix it up with Roman candles, Catherine wheels and rockets to really make your display flourish

• Buy your fireworks from a reputable supplier and check that they have a safety code on the box. Don’t buy fireworks from a market stall or a pop-up shop even if they’re cheap, as not only could they disappoint, they could also be dangerous

• Set the mood with some nice food. Toffee apples, baked potatoes and hot dogs will all fill the air with the smells of bonfire night, and will fill the tummies of your guests too!

• Sit back and cuddle up with a blanket and tell tales around the bonfire. Scare the little ones (and the big ones) and have a bit of fun telling ghost stories

• Make a Guy doll to celebrate the gunpowder plot and tell stories around the history of the gunpowder plot

Ultimately, Bonfire Night is a celebration for all. Bonfire night can be enjoyed by everyone regardless of age. Firework night or Guy Fawkes night is a great excuse for a party. Go all out and celebrate with fireworks, party food and games. It’s a perfect excuse to celebrate with your friends and family.
