With autumn upon us and Bonfire Night just around the corner, now’s the time to start thinking about what to wear to ensure you’re wrapped up warm and toasty to enjoy a fireworks display in comfort and style!
Bonfire Night on Female First
With this in mind, Regatta has compiled their ‘Top 10’ tips for a cracking Bonfire Night. With a variety of stylish, warm and budget friendly clothing and accessories, Regatta has all of the outdoor essentials that you need!
Setting the scene:
- Bring along finger food or enjoy a campfire barbeque. Firm favourites such as sausage rolls, Scotch eggs, hotdogs and marshmallows are perfect for an easy fire side treat loved by adults and kids alike! Pair with your favourite winter warmer beverage and you’ll keep hunger at bay
- Keep the firework display contained to a certain timeframe (7:30-8pm). Sporadic bursts punctuating the evening may irritate neighbours, disappoint guests and disrupt the flow of the evening
Safety first:
- Never go near a firework that has been lit - even if it hasn't gone off, it could still explode
- Light sparklers one at a time and only give to children over the age of five
- Keep your pets safe. Ensure pets are kept indoors and all windows, doors and cat/dog flaps are shut
- Only buy fireworks marked BS 7114 (The British Standard for Fireworks) from a reputable shop with knowledgeable staff
- Have several buckets of water and sand available to fully extinguish seemingly dead sparklers and other fixed or ‘stationary’ fireworks like Catherine wheels. You can never be too safe
- Ensure that there is a safe buffer zone between fireworks and guests, especially small children
Wrap up warm:
-Don’t get caught out in the cold. The drop in temperature is often a trigger for colds and flu. Keep your head, hands and feet covered in winter warm accessories to prevent losing body heat
- Alongside your gloves, hat and scarf, bring along a Regatta waterproof and insulated jacket and Easy Pack rucksack, the perfect solution for cool nights that can be packed away when not in use
