Eastbourne Bonfire Society (EBS)

Dedicated to the celebration of Sussex Traditions through torch-lit processions, bonfire and fireworks. Our aim is to celebrate and continue the tradition of Bonfire in Sussex as well as supporting local charities. Our motto is Burning for the Community.

Since 2005 we have celebrated by hosting our own  Annual Bonfire event along Eastbourne seafront. We also join in other bonfire processions in Sussex during the bonfire season (Sept - Dec) and in carnivals. We attend local events to fund raise as well as organising our own events for the community to enjoy.  This includes Eastbourne Steampunk Festival on the 2nd and 3rd September 2023 on the Wish Tower Slopes, live music, stalls and so much more!

Our major bonfire event in 2023 is on Saturday 7th October when we will hold our procession and fireworks on the Seafront at Eastbourne - everyone welcome! We hold meetings upstairs at The Fishermens, on every 3rd  Monday of the Month at 19:00 hrs. If you would like more information or to become a member please feel free to come and join us at one of these meetings. Please note we do not hold a meeting in December.
