Rye Bonfire

Get ready to feel the heat at the Rye Bonfire, where small-town charm meets serious pyrotechnics in a fiery spectacular. This is not just an average backyard fire pit; it is a legendary Sussex tradition complete with a roaring torchlit procession, booming drums, and a massive bonfire that traditionally features a burning boat. Watch as costumed societies march through the historic medieval streets, culminating in an epic fireworks display that will light up the autumn sky. It is the perfect excuse to bundle up, grab a warm drink, and experience an unforgettable night of festivities and community spirit that you will be talking about long after the embers fade.
