Burning the Clocks is a celebration of time, tradition, and renewal. Every year, hundreds of people gather to create their own paper and willow lanterns, which they carry in a parade through Brighton’s streets. The procession culminates with a beautiful bonfire and fireworks display on the beach, symbolising the release of the old year and the welcoming of new beginnings.
Burning the Clocks is more than just a parade; it is a symbolic ritual celebrating the passage of time and the hopes we carry into the New Year. With the streets filled with creative lanterns, the bonfire's warmth, and the fireworks' excitement, it is a uniquely Brighton experience that brings together locals and visitors alike.
