Lewes Bonfire Night

The UK's most famous bonfire night sees six Lewes societies march torch-lit processions through the narrow streets before heading to separate fire sites for bonfires and fireworks. It is held on 5 November itself, with visiting societies from across Sussex.

Processions are free to watch. Most fire sites are ticketed and must be bought in advance from the societies; Visit Lewes lists most at £10, with some free.Directions
