Hailsham Bonfire Society

Once again HBS triumphed with a fantastic and successful FLAMING FUN DAY in June. A record number of visitors enjoyed music, food, displays, drinks and much much more. The support from the community was fantastic and once again proved that HBS FFD is a fixed event in Hailsham Towns calendar. The society worked tirelessly to make the event a success and those who were there on the day are a credit to the society values, supporting and giving up their time to make the event what it is today. We are looking at how we can beat this years event and welcome any new members to the society who help make this reality. We would also like to thank all those who attended the event with their respective stalls and groups, we couldn’t do this without you. We continue to work hard to raise the funds needed for our next event in October……. If you wish to make a donation please visit our fundraising page for details.

Following on from the success of the 2024 celebrations we are now in the planning stages for the 2025 event. This will take place on 18th October 2025 with HBS leading the torch lit procession through the town and then a fantastic bonfire and firework finale at our firesite on Western Road Recreation ground. This event takes a great deal of preparation and funding, do you have an interest in joining us? Visit our membership page for details of how to do this. If you would like to help with any fundraising or donations visit our fundraising page.

With the AGM out the way and a number of changes, the committee are now planning various fundraising events to fund this years celebrations.

We are pleased to announce following the success of last years Flaming Funday, an even bigger event to take place on the 29th June 2025 at our Firesite on the Western Road recreation ground. Further details will be announced in the next few weeks!

Following a very well-attended AGM last month, HBS is in fine form and looking forward to this year’s various fundraising events in the run-up to HB25. Many thanks to those who have taken on their new roles and also to those that have decided to take a back seat for a well-earned rest!
