Stay Local

5th nov

We would like you to “Stay Local” this bonfire season, supporting locally organised events rather than setting off fireworks or having bonfires in your own gardens.

This can also help reduce the number of cars on the move on longer journeys late at night when you may be tired after enjoying a celebration further afield.

While we do not organise events, we can point you in the right direction for more information. 

We would also ask that if you attend organised events, you make sure you park considerately and ensure that you can be seen in the dark! 

Help us spread the word with our posters:

Stay Local
How will you remember the 5th of November?

Remember the Fireworks Code

 

A special request about Lewes bonfire night 

We would also ask that Lewes bonfire (5 November) is considered as an event for locals – rather than large numbers of people travelling into the town.    

It quickly gets overcrowded and uncomfortable, with very few public facilities available.    

  • South East Coast Ambulance Service and St John Ambulance treated around 80 people last year.
  • There is also no guarantee that you will be able to get to and from the town with road closures in place and trains not stopping at local stations. 
  • Sussex Police made a number of arrests. 

If you Stay Local and find your nearest events instead, we believe you have a much better chance of enjoying your night out.
