Wildlife Friendly Bonfire Night at Mere Sands Wood

A family, dog and wildlife-friendly bonfire night with live acoustic music and café refreshments, without fireworks, at Mere Sands Wood nature reserve.

Mere Sands Wood hosts a quiet, wildlife-friendly bonfire night with no fireworks or loud rides, aimed at families, people with sensory sensitivities and dog owners. Live acoustic music plays throughout, the café serves refreshments and sweet treats, and the bonfire — built from conservation byproducts on an island by the lake — is lit at 7pm and viewed from the café and outdoor seating. Advance parking tickets are required due to limited on-site parking.
