Sussex Bonfire night and firework displays 2016
Going to a firework display used to be a case of "remember, remember the 5th of November". Now the big firework displays in Sussex are spread out over a three week long period, not just Guy Fawkes' Night itself, largely to avoid competing with one another.
Look out too for the big bonfires at Chiddingfold, just over the country border, which is on Saturday 4th November 2017. Our favourite here at West Sussex.info is the Heyshott Bonfire near Midhurst - a firework display with a real pagan feel to it and a really good torchlit procession.
Selsey Fireworks
Selsey Fireworks is one of the biggest firework displays near Chichester. You can buy tickets in advance and there's a funfair and muic as well as the bonfire and fireworks. There'a different theme to the firewok display each year.
