The history of bonfire in Lewes
The Lewes Bonfire Night is the biggest Fifth of November Event in the world, and is known as either the Lewes Bonfire Night Celebrations, Lewes Bonfire Night or just simply the Fifth. It commemorates the fall of Guy Fawkes, the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, and remembers the Seventeen Martyrs that were burnt near the Lewes War Memorial between 1555-1557. Currently there are 7 bonfire societies based in Lewes, although there have been as many as 25 in the past, while many of the smaller towns and villages in East Sussex also have their own society. On the night of the 5th they lead their processions through the town, each with their own traditions, costumes, bonfire, fireworks, tableaux, effigies and set pieces to their own fire sites.
