Fireworks and bonfire night events are returning to Sussex this year, and with some events starting in the middle of October, there will be plenty of chances for the whole family to celebrate this Autumn.
These events are confirmed to be taking place at the time of writing but this may change, it is therefore advised that readers stay up to date with event organisers just in case of any changes in circumstances.
Hastings Bonfire
Taking place in October as a sort of hybrid celebration of The Battle of Hastings that falls on the 14th of October and Guy Fawkes Night in November, this is perhaps the earliest Bonfire event in the county. The event will consist of a torchlit procession, drumming, bonfire lighting and a spectacular fireworks display.
Where: The procession starts at Robertson St, Hastings TN34 1HL and will end at Pelham Place, Hastings TN34 3AD, where the bonfire and fireworks will take place.
When: Saturday 15th October 2022 from 7.15 pm
