Mims Davies MP was thrilled to join local Councillors and residents for the brilliant East Grinstead Community Bonfire.
Tradition of Sussex Bonfire
East Grinstead Community Bonfire was formed in 2022 to bring the tradition of Sussex Bonfire to East Grinstead. They are a Community Interest Company (CIC) which aims to benefit the community and any profits made are reinvested back into the community. Mims Davies MP was honoured to be able to join and celebrate with local Councillors and residents.
A year in the making
Mims Davies MP said: “What a fabulous evening East Grinstead Community Bonfire amazingly well done! Huge honour to again join the poignant Act of Remembrance and town procession along this year with Deputy Mayor Cllr Pond and Cllr Jacquie Russell and Cllr Ed Godwin so many others from great local groups, and fellow local Sussex bonfire societies. This is a year in the making, planning, fundraising, and logistics from the bonfire, firework, and Marshalls from the fabulous East Grinstead Lions Club – a truly wonderful fourth event which was a massive joy to be part of.
Thank you everyone for making it again a really special night again for the 4th year – this is now an absolute staple to be at – last night with visiting Mayors and Dignitaries from our twin towns from Germany, France, and Italy.
Thank you to the team The Railway – East Grinstead for a great welcome to everyone on the route switch around. Thank you to Sussex Police and West Sussex Fire and Rescue and all the services who kept last night safe and fun for all.
And a BIG thanks to the kind and very sweet EG people helping with my mini phone disaster!! All found and sorted thanks to Life 360 and so celebrated with late kebabs from East Grinstead Charcoal Grill!! That was a fully memorable Saturday night experience.”
