Does anybody know of any Midsummer bonfires in Yorkshire? I would like to attend one but I know this custom is fading out.Nothing like sitting around the camp fire, singing songs and eating marshmellow is there? Many thanks!

Could do lol...Very ermmm...Pagan! But thought there would be some public ones I could go to. Seems this tradition has probably died out now

It would be a lot better than a pile of timber in a field full of wild life.

Used to have to promise my daughter in her younger days that the heap at Roundhay had been searched before it was lit - still doesn't forgive me!).
