Bonfire
Barcombe Bonfire is held annually, two weeks after the Lewes celebration. Barcombe’s celebrations are hailed as close to Lewes as it gets and have been said to be the best village celebrations. The society is largely family-orientated and everyone helps out with torch dipping, bonfire building etc. The Grand Firework Display is ‘grand’ as well as the four processions (including the dedicated Children's Procession.) They always have many societies visiting and have a fancy dress competition: always well attended.

Famous quotes containing the word bonfire:
“That spring, briefer than apple-blossom’s breath,
Summer, so much too beautiful to stay,
Swift autumn, like a bonfire of leaves,
And sleepy winter, like the sleep of death.”
—Elinor Wylie (1885–1928)
