A spokesman for the Council said: “There are currently 36 Bonfire Societies as members of Sussex bonfire Council, ranging from Littlehampton down to Rye, across the border in Kent to Hawkhurst and on to Edenbridge.

All are custodians of keeping the traditions of Sussex Bonfire alive for future generations to come.

Our bonfire season starts early in September and goes on to late November , over that time the Bonfire Societies while having there celebrations carry collecting buckets for charity or good causes.”
