Bonfire Night and Halloween Campfire Party - Make use of that camping gear

Kids love dressing up for Halloween, but combining the two makes sense with bonfire night so close.

If you’ve accumulated camping gear, put it to good use and bring the party outside. If you don’t have the right gear, then this time of year is a fantastic time to pick up an end-of-season bargain, and a bonfire party is an excellent excuse to test it out.

Campfire Party

Create the right atmosphere with a campfire.

If you have somewhere for a campfire, you can cook for people. And where else is better for a spooky story than by a campfire?

You could always use a fire pit if you don't have room for a fire. Have a look at the one we have used for years: Landmann Tripod Charcoal Barbecue & Fire Grill Review.

What if it looks like rain?

No problem. Create a tarp shelter over your kitchen and near your fire.

When we had our campfire Halloween party, it didn't rain, but I had the shelter up just in case.

Furniture

Not enough chairs and tables in the garden? Get out your folding camping chairs and tables.

And at the end of the night, when your families and friends say, “You put a lot of effort into this. It was fun”, you can reply, “It’s no effort when you know how. This is what it’s like when we go camping!”

You never know. You might convert some non-camping friends and family. ;-)
