Lewes fireworks, by leehambly on Nov 5, 2007 15:46:11 GMT 1, Anyone going or been in recent years? I went a couple of times about 10 years back and curious to know if it is still utterly mental and worth the trip?

Lewes fireworks, by circlemaker on Nov 6, 2007 14:49:14 GMT 1, was the nuts, make sure you get a ticket for the cliffe one as that is by far the best and has firework throwing at the pope, and an exploding pope (this year a girl got struck down by a piece of exploded pope and split her head open). trouble with this one is it goes on way after the last train away from the lewes station. so make sure you drive or get a lift - next year at any rate

Lewes fireworks, by alcat82 on Nov 6, 2007 19:15:34 GMT 1, if you dont mind going a bit futher east then head to Battle (near Hastings) for their procession and fireworks show. I went last year and it was brilliant, highly recommended and as a cheeky bonus you get to watch the bonfire and fireworks in the same field as the great battle of 1066!
