Staff and residents at Reigate Beaumont in Reigate celebrated Bonfire Night with a bang on November 3rd when they gathered around together to watch a fantastic firework display. 

Reigate 17th Scouts and the Mayor & Mayoress of the Borough of Reigate & Banstead were also in attendance and everyone enjoyed hotdogs and mulled wine together.

Bonfire Night commemorates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot when 14 individuals tried to blow up the House of Lords during the state opening of Parliament on November 5th 1605.  The residents enjoyed traditional bonfire night treats such as jacket potatoes, hot dogs, carrot cake, and mulled wine, all beautifully prepared by the head chef Roman.
