Battel Bonfire Boyes

We are looking forward to joining our friends @cliffebonfire to celebrate the 5th tonight. Bring on some noise

All the safety info you need for tonight. Remember to be prepared for a traditional event which may be noisy, smokey and crowded

ROAD CLOSURE TONIGHT Please note our road closure operates from 6pm until midnight along the following roads. Powdermill Lane, High Street, Upper Lake, Lower Lake & Station Approach.

Good morning

A quick heads up - there has been a sign placed by the highways agency advertising our road closure is 6pm - 10pm. This is incorrect. The road closure is 6pm-midnight. Sorry for any confusion

Please note we will not be monitoring our social media platforms on Saturday 3rd November due to all volunteers being busy setting up for the evening

A reminder of our safety information for this weekend. Please see our facebook page for full details

Please do not pick up any discarded torches that you may see on the night. We have a team whose job it is to do that!

Final members meeting before bonfire night is tonight at 8 pm at Battle Club.

Top tips for not sounding like an idiot when mentioning Bonfire: It's not a festival It's a procession, not a parade It's six different events happening at once, not a single event Advertising your business off the back of it without donating to a society or charity is not cool

@JOMAX10 Hi Jo, I would suggest arriving early and getting your bearings. Avoid trying to view from the town centre by the fire as it gets very busy and if you look at our Facebook page we have lots of extra info on there

@BattleBonfire Hi, we’re visiting this weekend and would love to watch the procession and fireworks - a long-held item on my bucket-list! Any advice as where to position ourselves would be welcome as I’m unfamiliar with the layout of the town - we will be coming from Rushlake Green direction.

Have you picked up a programme yet? They will be available on the day from the merchandise stall on the Abbey Green from 10am - 4pm

Halloween is so overrated 🙄

Here are the planned timings for Saturday's event. As always they may be subject to change due to any unforeseen circumstances

@cliffebonfire @Cliffe_Firesite Good to hear! Looking forward to seeing you this Saturday (and then again on Monday)

@BattleBonfire @Cliffe_Firesite We've read it!

Safety is a priority for BBB. Please ensure you have read our safety information prior to attending on November 3rd. We advise that our event is not suitable for young children or those of a nervous disposition

If you plan to attend our event this Saturday please ensure you bring plenty of cash for two reasons: 1. There are no cash points in the town centre 2. You will want to donate some money to our charity collection as every penny collected is given away

Lots of behind the scenes activity happening today!

BBB are looking forward to visiting our friends at Ewhurst & Staplecross Bonfire Society tonight

Join the Rubbish Drummers and "The Oldest Guy in the World" on Saturday 3rd November for the annual children's procession and fancy dress competition. Full details on our facebook page
