Horningsea village green was glowing on Sunday 2nd November as families, friends and neighbours gathered for this year’s Bonfire Night and Firework celebration hosted by Horningsea Residents Association.
The evening kicked off at 17.30 with music on the green with long queues all evening for the ever-popular hotdogs and hot chocolate.
At 18.30 the fireworks were set off with a bang drawing ooh’s and aah’s from the crowd. Lighting of the bonfire followed sending a warm glow across the green. A single guy sat on top of the fire.
Visitors commented on the family friendly atmosphere, great food, how well the event was organised and the hard work of the committee and other volunteers from the village who helped on the night.
All of the profit made from the night will go towards funding Horningsea’s social events throughout the next year.
A special thanks go to Scotsdales for opening up their car park allowing cars to park for free. Scotsdales staff also very kindly gave up their time to safely man the car park. With people also arriving by bus the High Street, apart from resident’s cars remained clear all evening.
Thanks to the careful planning of organisers and volunteers the evening ran smoothly and safely.
