Seaford Bonfire has been cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

In a statement, Seaford Bonfire Society said it has had to make the ‘difficult decision’ to postpone the event.

A spokesman said: “As we all know the Covid-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented disruption this year, with the Government’s current advice on social distancing set to be the new normal for some time to come.

“The committee has been in regular contact discussing how we could put on a large public event safely for the people of Seaford, our members and visitors.
