A Creative Bonfire Night at Minton Court

Today at Minton Court, we celebrated Bonfire Night with a blend of fun, creativity, and music! We kicked off with a Bonfire Night quiz, sparking conversations and memories of past celebrations. Participants then got hands-on with pebble painting, using vibrant acrylic pens and paints to create unique designs on stones – from fireworks to seasonal scenes, each pebble became a personal masterpiece. We wrapped up the session with musical bingo, adding some lively tunes and a bit of friendly competition to end the day on a high note.
