Lindfield Bonfire Society is pleased to announce it will be marking the start of the 2022 Bonfire Season with Badge Night at the Stand Up Inn on Tuesday 6th September at 8pm. Badge Night in Lindfield is a celebratory event to which all are welcome, and they shall be joined by the brilliant Skull Drummery who will be performing under the lime trees in the High Street.

LBS’s Dave Hawk explained: “This year our badge celebrates the King who survived the Gunpowder Plot. When King James VI of Scotland became King James I of England, the two thrones were united. To mark this union, in 1606, he superimposed the Cross of St George on the Scottish Saltire to create a new flag, the original Union Flag which was modified in 1801 to become the current ‘Union Jack’. Now known as ‘Kings Colours’, LBS have featured King James’s original design on this year’s badge. All are invited to come along, enjoy the live drumming show on the High Street, see what all the noise is about and meet the Bonfire Society!
