The 5th of November! Whether you’re joining us for an early dinner to set the scene for an incredible evening, or you’re fortunate enough to be staying with us at The White Hart on this iconic night in Lewes, we’re thrilled to be offering you a cosy backdrop right at the heart of the action!

If there’s one place to be on Bonfire Night, it’s Lewes – coined the Bonfire Capital of the world. Every year, this historic Sussex town transforms into the epicentre of spectacular celebrations, steeped in tradition, drama, and flame-lit revelry.

Lewes Bonfire Night is not just a commemoration of Guy Fawkes’ failed Gunpowder Plot. It’s a vibrant and unique event that marks centuries-old customs, featuring dazzling torchlit processions, towering effigies, ear-splitting firecrackers, and mesmerising firework displays. Hosted by local bonfire societies, each with their own distinctive costumes, traditions, and fireworks, the night is an explosion of sights and sounds that draws visitors from around the world. Find out more about what to expect on the evening on the Visit Lewes website.

At The White Hart, you’ll be front and centre of this one-of-a-kind celebration, with a perfect view of the processions snaking through the town’s historic streets and drinks available throughout the festivities from our hatch. From our cosy setting, you can witness the unforgettable spectacle knowing you have a full belly and a warm, cosy room to retreat to when the evening’s festivities wind down.

This is an experience like no other, where the fire meets the sky and centuries of history burn bright. Make sure you ignite your interest with us for what will surely be a night to remember at The White Hart! Book now.
