WOW… what an incredible evening!
Buxted absolutely came alive on Saturday! From the moment the torchlit procession set off, the village was filled with the unmistakable spirit of a Sussex bonfire!
The procession was spectacular, the bonfire was absolutely roaring, and then came the grand finale… THOSE FIREWORKS!
What an incredible display! The sky over Buxted was lit up in spectacular fashion, bringing an unforgettable evening to a close. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, because Buxted, you were absolutely amazing!
A huge thank you to all the Bonfire Societies who joined us and helped make the evening so special.
A massive thank you also goes to our amazing volunteers for the countless hours of preparation, hard work and commitment, and for being back out in the village yesterday, cleaning up and restoring Buxted as if the night before had never happened. You are absolute legends!
We’d also like to thank our marshals for helping the event run safely and smoothly, our fire and medical crews for being there and helping keep everyone safe, and our security team for their hard work, professionalism and dedication throughout the event.
And finally, a huge thank you to our incredible firework team, WOW, what a display!. You gave Buxted a truly spectacular finale and absolutely smashed it!
NOW FOR THE IMPORTANT BIT, PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR BONFIRE SOCIETY!
A night like this doesn’t happen for free.
It costs over £10,000 every year to put on Buxted Bonfire Night. From fireworks and safety arrangements to equipment, insurance, transport, facilities and all the other costs involved in putting on an event of this scale, there are huge expenses behind the scenes. And importantly, we don’t receive a pot of funding to make it happen.
Our events rely entirely on the generosity of our community and our amazing members who fundraise tirelessly throughout the year.
So, if you came along on Saturday, enjoyed the procession, stood around the bonfire, watched the fireworks with your family and friends, or simply enjoy seeing Buxted come together as a community, please consider making a donation. Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a genuine difference.
We want to keep bringing this incredible night to Buxted for years to come, but we can only do that with your support.
PLEASE DONATE HERE: www.buxtedbonfiresociety.co.uk/donate
Want to get involved. We’re always looking for new members and volunteers.
Whether you’d like to help with planning, fundraising, preparation, stewarding, behind the scenes jobs or being part of the big night itself, there’s a place for you in our Bonfire family.
