This Saturday, 5 November is Bonfire Night. It’s a time to enjoy a glass of mulled wine, a mince pie and…burn an effigy of a seventeenth-century traitor! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_fawkes

Every year, the folks at 73 Maids Causeway host a bonfire night party after the Cambridge council’s fireworks celebration. The house is just steps away from the common. Here’s a map: http://g.co/maps/kudum

Here’s how the night will shape up:

7:30 – Fireworks display and bonfire lighting on Midsummer Common. Arrive by 7:00 for the best views. Expect mud, don appropriate footwear.

8:00-8:30 – Bonfire Night Party at 73 Maids Causeway! We’ll have the standard mulled wine and mince pies plus an array of other nibbles and drinks. We’ll ask for a £1 contribution. If you plan to stay awhile (and you’re certainly welcome to do so!), the 73 residents have asked everyone to bring their own bottle.

It’ll be the perfect way to spend a November evening!
