A Message From Our Chairman

Hi SSBS members,

I hope you are all well. The latest on Bonfire Night is that we do not know at the moment will happen. I'm hoping to have a meeting with the committee at the beginning of July so hope to be able to give you all more of an idea of what we will do this year. I will keep all members updated, until then please take care.

Steve Newman, Chairman

COFFEE MORNINGS

​Unfortunately our coffee mornings are on hold for the moment, but these will recommence when it is safe to do so.

These are the best way to meet other members, catch up on news, buy lovely home made cakes and jams and SSBS merchandise.

Welcome to South Street Bonfire society 

This family society founded in 1913 as a ‘Juvenile’ Society, now has members of all ages but remains a popular choice for families. We hold our annual celebrations on 5th November, and are proud to uphold the traditions of Bonfire Night in Lewes.

The costumes of our First Pioneers are Colonial (c. 1750), and the Second Pioneers, English Civil War. Our smugglers wear brown and cream striped guernseys.
