BONFIRES

We have to mention the Bonfire Night Celebrations in Lewes. This is something unique and must be experienced. It is the biggest event of its kind in the world and involves huge bonfires across Lewes, fireworks, burning crosses and a grand procession through the town. www.lewesbonfirecelebrations.com
