Does anyone know any descendants of Guy Fawkes? I’ve got an idea 🤔

You'll need 4 if it includes devolved.

If you want bonfires come to East Sussex, home of the bonfire societies

First fire is in September; just about every society visits every other society's fire through the season into November

Lewes is of course the biggest; that's actually on Nov 5th - Tuesday

Ours here in East Hoathly attracts several hundred people who watch the fire in the recreation ground and then process to a nearby field for fireworks

A local woodworker builds the effigies for the fire; this was last year's fantastic effort

Reminds me of the Ottery St Mary Tar Barrel rolling. That's a great show by all accounts.
