It’s getting colder, darker and Guy Fawkes night- November 5th is fast approaching.
In 2012 YouGov estimated an incredible £386 million is spent on Bonfire Night annually. With a high percentage of the British population celebrating bonfire night either at home or at organised events, you can bet the kids will be just as involved (if not, more) in the festivities.
Fire safety and Bonfire Night go hand in hand. With 12% of adults planning to buy fireworks to use at home or at parties, we’ve got some helpful resources to help bring Bonfire Night into the classroom.
