Remember, remember the fifth of November…
Lindfield will once again celebrate bonfire night on Wednesday 5th November 2025.
A year of fundraising and planning by Lindfield Bonfire Society (LBS) culminates on Wednesday 5th November. Starting at 7.30pm outside the Standup Inn, the torchlit procession with the Guy goes through the village, heading eventually to the common. There the traditional bonfire prayer will be said, followed by the lighting of the bonfire (8.30pm) and ending with a grand firework display (8.45pm). NB all timings are approximate.
Road closures and procession route 2025
Various road closures will be in effect on the night from 6.30pm until 9.30pm. During this time it will not be possible to use these roads with vehicles. Please do not attempt to drive through closed roads as you endanger the safety of pedestrians and will be reported to the authorities.
The event as usual is free to attend but, on the night, LBS holds a street collection in aid of local children’s charities. If every person that attended gave just £1 LBS would raise a phenomenal amount for its chosen charities.
For full details check the LBS Facebook page, and website (www.lindfieldbonfiresociety.co.uk). Information is also available in the 2025 Bonfire programme which is available from many retailers in the village and beyond, or from the LBS website for a minimum donation of £2. LBS regrets that as it gets nearer to the fifth, they may be unable to respond to specific queries as they will be busy preparing for the night.
If you are attending on the night, remember:
· Please do not bring sparklers or fireworks. It is illegal to light them in a public area.
· Please do not pick up torches that have been discarded at the side of the road. Only Bonfire Society members, and invited societies are permitted to hold them.
· Leave pets at home.
· Bring your loose change to donate to our street collection. LBS also has the ability to donate digitally via SumUp QR codes, so there’s no excuse!
· Please obey the directions of Marshals.
· Please take your litter home with you.
· Please walk into the village if you are able as parking is very limited in the surrounding areas
And finally, have a fun and safe night!
