Priory by Candlelight 2024 – POSTPONED

Posted on by Karen Burns

Priory by Candlelight is postponed to 14th September 2024 6pm to 10pm

It is with regret that we have taken the decision to postpone Priory by Candlelight to Saturday 14th September 2024. Unfortunately, the weather forecast for tomorrow suggests it will be raining throughout the evening and the recent heavy rain means the site is already saturated. Therefore, we believe that postponement for a week is the best course of action for both safety reasons and to ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone involved. We have not taken this decision lightly and are very sorry for any inconvenience caused.

Pre-booked tickets will still be valid for the 14th September and timings and other arrangements for the event remain the same. However, if you are unable to attend the new date, refunds are available by following the instructions on Eventbrite.

Southover Bonfire Society presents the magical Priory by Candlelight at the Priory Park. The remains of the Priory of St Pancras will be lit by thousands of candles in the evening as darkness falls.

Come and enjoy this magical event with entertainment throughout the evening with a variety of music and song, food stalls and a licensed bar.

Admission on the gates or in advance from Eventbrite.

  • Adults £5
  • 5 to 17 years £2.50
  • Under 5s free

Get your tickets now!

Last admission at 9pm.

Event postponed to Saturday 14th September if wet.

Deadline for members!

Our final Badge Night is this Friday (Nov 3) from 6pm-8pm at our HQ The Swan. That will be the last opportunity to get your Membership Card updated with this year’s sticker and pick up your 2023 Badge if you want to participate in the big night. Please bring your Membership Card with you. If you can’t find it, then you will need to pay for a replacement and get a temp card. In either case, you will also have had to renew your membership online in advance of Badge Night by following this link:

You need both your 2023 updated Membership Card and 2023 Badge with you in order to process on Bonfire Night. Marshals are checking and you will be asked to leave the procession if you don’t have both of these with you. You will also be denied access to the firesite and fireworks. Any queries, please contact membership@southoverbs.com

Plus, even if you are all sorted, our final Badge Night is a great event. We’ve restocked our merchandise and clothing stalls so all those last-minute purchases can be made. Once our Badge Night has shut up shop, there is also the opportunity to join your fellow Bonfire buddies at The King’s Head from 8.30pm for some more banter etc. There won’t be any membership renewals, merch or clothing stalls available at The King’s Head.

May Fayre magic returns!

Posted on by Sarah Monk

Medieval magic is back in all its glory at our fantastic Feast of St Pancras May Fayre which returns to Lewes Priory Park on Saturday and Sunday May 14 & 15 2022.

It’s Southover Bonfire Society’s 11th year of fun for all the family and this year we have some fabulous new attractions joining our favourites including bonkers games to test your skills such as smashing crockery, rolling swedes, splatting rats and very moist wet stocks to pop your nearest and dearest in.

Plus there’s crafts people, a treasure island, fab tombola, a brilliant plant and garden stall, and plenty of opportunities to win some great prizes. We’ve also got an ale and hearty bar, wood fired pizzas and stalls with other delicious and hard-to-resist culinary delights.

What’s more it’s also going to be a biggie this year with hundreds of re-enactors  recreating the Battle of Lewes on the streets of our town so there’s plenty of action of the armour-suited variety taking place over the two days. Can you hear the chainmail and swords clanking people?

Feel free to dress up in medieval garb for this brilliant family event.

Entry is absolutely free and the fun takes place from 12noon to 5pm both days. Entry via Cockshut Road, Southover, Lewes, BN7 1HP. Close to Lewes railway station too.
