ABOUT FIRLE BONFIRE SOCIETY
Although records of Bonfire activities
in Firle go back to the 1870s, the Firle Bonfire Society was
re-formed
in 1981 to encourage and promote traditional bonfire festivities
in the village.
Every October we hold an annual Bonfire Night with
torchlit processions and fireworks display in commemoration of the
discovery of the Gunpowder Plot in 1605. Firle also visit other Sussex
Bonfire Celebrations during the outmeeting season including Lewes
on Nov 5th
