This year the event on Nevill Green in Lewes will celebrate the society’s 50th anniversary.

From 12pm to 4.30pm there will be a fair with stalls, activities, displays and games. Entertainment will include a women’s and men’s tug-of-war contest between the town’s bonfire societies, a torch-making competition and events featuring Lewes Dance Academy. The society says it is also working with Starfish Youth Music to showcase young musicians.

Part two will run from 6pm to 10pm featuring live music headlined by four-piece rock band Full House with support from senior Starfish bands.
