Bonfire Night
Remember remember - it’s not just about Lewes.
With its seven bonfire societies, dramatic town-centre procession, pyrotechnics and burning of political effigies, the spectacle of Lewes on Guy Fawkes Night is something to behold.
Not to be outdone, several other Sussex towns are determined to put themselves on the map when it comes to lighting up the sky on bonfire night. So to avoid the Lewes crowds, head to Hastings, Battle or Robertsbridge, who are among those leading the chasing pack.
