Bonfire Night firework display at The Saffrons with fairground rides and street-food vendors, the town's favourite family-friendly event.
The Saffrons firework display is back on Friday 6 November, with gates opening at 6pm and the fireworks starting at 7.30pm. It's held at The Saffrons Sports Ground on Compton Place Road, just west of Eastbourne town centre and tucked behind the Town Hall. If you're not familiar with the spot, it's an 18-acre multi-sport ground run by the charitable Eastbourne Saffrons Sports Club Trust. It's been there since 1886 and serves as the home for Eastbourne Cricket Club, Eastbourne Hockey Club, and Eastbourne Town Football Club — the oldest senior football club in Sussex. The Gun Brewery Taproom is also on site.
On the night, the fireworks are the main event, but there's more to it than just the display. Fairground rides and street-food vendors run alongside the taproom, so you can grab a drink and some food while you wait for the fireworks to light up the grounds. It's billed as the town's favourite family-friendly Bonfire Night event, and it's a separate thing from the Eastbourne Bonfire Society's bonfire night down on the seafront, so you've got a couple of different ways to mark the night in town.
