Remember, Remember the 5th of November

Staff and residents at Cumberland Grange in Exeter celebrated Bonfire Night with a bang this November 5th when they wrapped up warm to gather around the bonfire to watch a fantastic firework display and enjoy lots of seasonal treats washed down with some warming luxury hot chocolates.

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.  Staff and residents made a traditional Guy to burn on the bonfire while the fireworks lit up the night sky.

The residents enjoyed the display whilst in the company of their family and friends, which was just lovely.

Brian, Resident Ambassador at Cumberland Grange, said: “It was a really wonderful evening, we had great fun.”

Beth, General Manager at Cumberland Grange said: “We had a fantastic night, our residents love to keep these traditions and reminisce about years gone by.  We all wrapped up and huddle together to watch the fireworks before we got the sparklers out. It was such a great evening and it is always lovely to be joined by our wonderful families, too.”
