Eastbourne Bonfire Society stages a colourful procession along the seafront with a giant bonfire and firework display as the finale. Part of the local "bonfire" tradition it attracts other regional societies to the procession. Everyone welcome!
Starts at 7.15pm with procession, fireworks at 9.45pm
Bonfire and Firework Display Procession from The Crown & Anchor, Royal Parade at 7.15pm. The second procession will head into town around 8.30pm.
Returning to the seafront, a huge bonfire constructed on the beach will be lit, topped with a specially crafted effigy, dragged through the streets and revealed only on the night.
The celebrations end with a colourful fireworks display over the seafront — often said to be Eastbourne’s best — providing a fitting finale to the evening.
Free to visit, event program available at £2 with full event route and other essential information
