Preparations are in full swing for our fourth Bonfire event to be held at Inkwell. This annual event has become one of the biggest in our calender and has always been an ambitious project. Inkwell has made it a tradition to set alight a towering structure: a 30ft phoenix in 2010, a dragon in 2011 followed by our viking longboat last year. This years theme will be ‘Icarus’ which has been an inspiration for artists and painters for centuries.
