This 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 year, visit a gentle, memorable bonfire night that celebrates nature and community on a night under the stars.
