Hastings Borough Bonfire Society exists to uphold the Sussex tradition of celebrating the thwarting of the Gunpowder Plot November 5th 1605 with a bonfire, procession and fireworks. This was an attempt to blow up King and Parliament by Guy Fawkes and friends.
Hastings Bonfire Night is held on the nearest Saturday to October 14th (Battle of Hastings Day). So it also celebrates the battle. This years event was held on Saturday 17th October 2009
