Everything you need for the perfect Campfire.
Fire Pit
Fire Lighters
Matches
Kindling
Logs
Our perfectly sized starter pack includes, matches, fire lighters and kindling, teamed with a large bag of logs you have everything you need to a get the night warmed up.
Step 1: Fire pit
For our Glamping pod guests, each pod is equipped with its very own designated fire pit, seamlessly integrated into your terrace for maximum convenience.
For Camping and Tourer guests, we offer the perfect fire pit for hire at an affordable rate of £3 per night. These fire pits are designed to meet safety standards and enhance your campfire experience.
If you choose to bring your own fire pit, please ensure it is at least 1 foot off the ground from the lowest point of the bowl, to comply with our safety regulations.
Step 2: Arrange the fire lighters
Lay 2 small square fire lighters in the centre of the fire pit and break up 2 others and scatter around. Fire lighters are highly effective at getting the fire started.
Step 3: Lay the kindling
Kindling consists of small, dry sticks that ignite easily. Add a few sticks on top of the fire lighters, place them in a tepee style structure leaving enough space to light and let the air flow.
Step 4: Light the Fire
Use your matches to carefully light the fire lighters. Be sure to stand back and avoid leaning over the fire pit while doing this. Safety first! As the kindling catches fire and begins to burn well, add a few more kindling sticks until you have a nice flame.
Step 5: Add Logs
Gently add the logs one at a time. Start with smaller logs and gradually work your way up to larger ones. This will help maintain a steady flame. Keep an eye on your fire and add more logs as needed. At Meadow Falls, we recommend responsible campfire management and have provided safety equipment around the site for emergencies.
Step 6: Toast marshmallows
Enjoy the warmth and ambiance of the fire while toasting your marshmallows, grab 2 chocolate biscuits, squash the marshmallow in the middle and slide off the toasting fork to make the most gooey delicious S'mores.
Step 7: Complete the experience
Once all food has been consumed, it's time for some true magic! pop a sachet of Rainbow fire in the middle of the flames (don't open the packet just throw the whole thing on), sit back and watch as the different colours dance and sparkle in the night.
