Our torchlight procession will depart St Catherine’s Road at 19:30hrs and will take the following route: Maltravers Road, Fitzalan Road (heading south), Granville Road, Selborne Road, St Winefride’s Road, Maltravers Drive, Fitzalan Road (heading north), Church Street (heading west), Beach Road, St Catherine’s Road, South Terrace to Sea Lane.
Once the torches in the procession has reached the bonfire site located on East Green overflow carpark, the bonfire will be lit. This is due to happen around 21:00hrs. Following this, the sky will be lit up by a spectacular fireworks display on the seafront which is put together by SelStar Fireworks. Once we have been amazed by the fireworks display, there will be a Return Procession which will depart Banjo Road at 21:40hrs and will head straight down Fitzalan Road to the Littlehampton Baptist Church.
