Burning the Clocks 2024

Mark your calendars for one of the most magical nights in Brighton. On Saturday 21 December, we’ll gather as a community to light the darkest night of the year. Burning the Clocks is a unique winter solstice festival held each December in Brighton, England, created by arts charity Same Sky. This enchanting event brings the community together for a lantern-lit parade through the city, culminating in a beachside bonfire and fireworks display. Participants carry handmade lanterns symbolizing their hopes and dreams, which are burned to mark the end of the year and welcome the new one. Attendance to the parade is free and unticketed. Only Wristband holders may join the parade and entry to Beachside Site. Wristbands included in Lantern packs.
