Bonfire Night

November 05, 2024

Today is bonfire night, enjoy your fireworks, stay safe and keep warm. We are proud supporters of Newick Bonfire Society and thank you for the wonderful display on Saturday.

Sussex people still have a strong sense of identity and a deep ingrained pride and loyalty to their county, summarised in the unofficial county motto 'We wunt be druv' - a phrase in the old Sussex dialect meaning 'we will not be driven'.

The spirit can still be found in the Bonfire Societies of Sussex. There is no other county in the country where the old tradition of bonfire is kept alive in this way.

"Remember, remember, the 5th of November, gunpowder treason and plot"
