As we speak, there is plenty of plotting, planning and preparation behind the scenes for Southover Bonfire Society and its members in readiness for November 5 2021.

When people ask us if Bonfire is going ahead, all we can say is that we are planning as if it is but, like Bonfire Societies and other organisations everywhere, we are keeping a very close eye on any covid updates or changes made by the Government. This is an ever-changing situation and protecting people’s health and wellbeing is paramount.

We would like to thank everyone who has continued to support the Society through this very difficult period, and we are working hard to do all we can to commemorate ‘The 5th’ – whatever constraints we may yet face.
