The festival was organised by Eastbourne’s Bonfire Society and went ahead on September 3 to 4 in 2022 along the seafront. There was live music and stalls from the Wish Tower Slope to the bandstand.
There was also an adults-only masked ball on Saturday night in the upstairs function room of the Fishermen’s Club in Royal Parade.
One person who visited the festival said on Facebook: “A great festival...so many amazing characters and costumes.”
