Bonfire Night Without Bangs: Pet and Family Friendly
3 Nov
Summary
- Nature reserve hosts dog-friendly, fireworks-free bonfires.
- Two separate events cater to families and sensory needs.
- Last year's dog-friendly event was very popular with visitors.
A nature reserve on the outskirts of Preston, Lancashire, is set to host a unique Bonfire Night celebration this year, offering a fireworks-free experience. The reserve will hold two events, emphasizing a calm and inclusive atmosphere for both animals and humans.
On Thursday, a bonfire event will welcome dogs, a rare exception to the reserve's usual wildlife protection policy. This initiative, started last year, proved highly popular, offering a less frightening alternative to traditional fireworks for pets. The trust noted that people appreciated celebrating away from loud bangs.
Additionally, the reserve will host another bonfire on Saturday. This event is specifically designed to be suitable for young children and individuals with additional sensory needs, ensuring that the Bonfire Night festivities are accessible and enjoyable for everyone in a peaceful setting.
