Hastings Bonfire Celebrations

Stealing a march on most other bonfires, Hastings Beach is the venue for the Hastings Bonfire Celebrations.

The spectacular torchlit procession, starting from White Rock (near to the Pier), bonfire and fireworks commemorate the Battle of Hastings, as well as the traditional gunpowder plot.

In a nutshell we celebrate the foiling of the gunpowder plot of 1605 and hold our event to coincide with Hastings week which celebrates the Battle of Hastings. There is a torchlit procession through the streets followed by a bonfire and fireworks on the beach.
