The Burning of the Clocks 2023
Not as violent as it sounds
Yes, there's a fire show, but the event itself is more like a big parade followed by a bit of pyromania.
What: Each year, scores of Brighton residents flood the streets to carry willow lanterns and clocks down to the sea, where they subsequently set them ablaze in a traditional bonfire.
Where: The annual event traditionally winds through the historic streets of Brighton every year.
