As the November darkness descends on Bagenkop Harbour, we light the bonfire and invite children, parents and grandparents to come inside and enjoy the warmth of the fire. Come and join us for a cosy and sensory experience, where we’ll carve wood, make snacks over the bonfire and gather round the flames. The whole family can join in – whether you’re experienced with a carving knife or trying it for the first time.

Gathering round the bonfire and creating something with your hands is an age-old tradition. Throughout the ages, woodcarving, storytelling and a sense of community have brought people together around the fire, which has provided warmth, comfort and a place to meet. Along the way, we’ll explore the significance of light in the darkness – from the bonfire’s first flames to the light that helps us find our way and be together.

Let the November darkness envelop you, whilst the bonfire crackles, the knives work their way through the wood, and the light from the fire dances in the darkness.
