The bonfire is thoughtfully constructed by the conservation team using eco-friendly materials, sourced from on-site habitat management. While sensibly sized to protect wildlife, it will still offer the warmth and beauty of a traditional bonfire. Set on a strip of land extending into the lake, the bonfire will be visible from the floating village, creating a magical atmosphere. The fire will be responsibly lit after a thorough wildlife inspection, ensuring a safe and unique experience for all. This isn’t just any bonfire night. It’s an evening that puts wildlife and conservation first. Every element is designed with sustainability in mind. It’s also perfect for younger children and those with sensory sensitivities, offering a relaxing and fun-filled evening without loud noises.
