Burning of the clocks

[BUTTERBALL]

I'm taking the kids down to see the Burning of the Clocks ceremony in Brighton tomorrow. Not been before. Does anyone know if it as good as it sounds and also where exactly the procession starts from?

 

[Yorkie]

I'd be interested to know as I am going straight from work.

I think the procession normally starts in North Street and works its way to Marine Parade for the burning ceremony itself. The fireworks are normally excellent.

I though that was Lewes in November? I think it's the close season for Catholics now

Where does this tradition stem from?
