chatsworth bonfire night

Sunday night, Jack and I and a couple of our friends drove out to Chatsworth for their annul Bonfire Night. It was so much fun! There was a steel drum band and acrobats and ballet dancers and a break dancing troupe. There were even stilt walkers, although we didn't get to see them until we were on our way out. And there were tons of food booths and, of course, a huge bonfire and an AMAZING fireworks show.

A blurry - but I'm going with artistic - photo of Chatsworth at night. It was so hard to get a good picture because there were so many people!

Chatsworth - so so beautiful.

One thing I have learned from this experience is that British people will wait patiently in line forever. I envy that kind of patience.

Now get ready for a lot of pictures of fireworks!

The bonfire had died down quite a bit by this point, but it was still impressive.

We had such a great time. Hot chocolate and sausages and a bag full of candy made the night complete!

What I thought were flamenco dancers, but apparently I was wrong.

The breakdancers were seriously awesome.

It turns out that the ballet dancers were doing all impromptu dances to the music that the acrobats were using. It was incredibly impressive.

The ribbon dancers were so great - I would love to learn how to do that!

Victoria, me and Emma - the other two people in our Medieval Archaeology masters program. It was so nice to get to know them more outside of the classroom. We all had such a great time!

Did anyone else do anything fun for Bonfire Night?
