The Bonfire Societies of Sussex (and it's close neighbours) are centered on Lewes whose seven societies always celebrate on November 5th. Other societies hold their events on the Saturdays between mid-September and the end of November, attending each other's processions.
Torchlight processions are followed by fireworks and the burning of an effigy, and in the process of eveyone having a good time, many thousands of pounds are raised for charities and other worthy causes.
Claims to be the oldest Bonfire Society in England,with records going back to 1646. The event
is held on the first Saturday in November closest to the 5th.
"Firle upholds and promotes all that's excellent about traditional
Sussex Bonfire and holds a Bonfire Night with torchlit processions and fireworks
each October".
Re-formed after am interval of 14 years, this society became active again
on the 400th anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot to present a torchlight procession,
bonfire and fireworks display.
The Lewes Bonfire Council co-ordinates the activities of the town's seven
Bonfire Societies - Cliffe, Commercial Square, Lewes Borough, Nevill Juvenile,
Southover, South Street and Waterloo.
