About Lewes

  • Lewes Bonfire Night, held on 5 November every year, is the most spectacular Guy Fawkes celebration in Britain — an event that draws up to 80,000 visitors to the town and involves six separate bonfire societies, each with its own procession, costume, and bonfire. The celebration has its roots in the burning of seventeen Protestant martyrs in Lewes during the reign of Mary I, and the bonfire societies — which have names like the Cliffe Bonfire Society and the Commercial Square Bonfire Society — maintain traditions of costume, music, and ceremony that have been passed down for generations. The processions, which wind through the narrow streets of the town carrying flaming torches and effigies, are one of the most dramatic and atmospheric events in the English calendar.
  • Glyndebourne, the opera house set in the grounds of a country house a few miles from Lewes, is one of the most prestigious opera venues in the world — a festival that has been held every summer since 1934 and that attracts audiences from across the world to hear performances of the highest quality in an idyllic rural setting. The tradition of picnicking in the gardens during the long interval — dressed in evening wear, with hampers and champagne — is one of the most distinctive rituals of the English summer, and Glyndebourne has become a symbol of a certain kind of English cultural life that combines high art with the pleasures of the countryside. The opera house was rebuilt in 1994 to a design by Michael Hopkins that won the RIBA Stirling Prize.
  • Thomas Paine, the political philosopher who was born in Thetford, lived in Lewes from 1768 to 1774, working as an excise officer and becoming involved in local politics and intellectual life. His time in Lewes, where he participated in the debating society at the White Hart Inn and developed his political ideas in conversation with the town's radical community, was formative for his later career as a revolutionary pamphleteer. The White Hart Inn, where Paine debated, still stands in the High Street, and a plaque commemorates his connection with the town. Paine left Lewes in 1774 and emigrated to America, where he wrote Common Sense two years later.
