The exhibition will open at 2.30pm on Saturday, October 5, and it will run until the end of Hastings Week, on Sunday, October 20. It will include a collection of photos, videos, merchandise and programmes.

Heather Leech, chairman of Hastings Borough Bonfire Society said: “We are delighted to be able to present such a large collection of memorabilia at Hastings Museum. It’s fascinating to see how the event has evolved over the past 25 years, to become the spectacular event that it is today.

• New Hastings lifeboat to honour mum and son’s shared love of the sea

• Hastings West Hill Lift repairs progress as wheel is sent to Sheffield

• Proposals for UK’s first ‘caravan hotel’ in St Leonards

“We are missing a couple of items, which we’re hoping can be sourced in time for the event. We would love to hear from you if you have a programme from 2001 or a photo of the 1998 effigy, which was a clock. Please email [email protected].

“We hope you enjoy the exhibition, and also our event, which takes place on Saturday, October 19.”
