 Across the UK and in the weeks leading up to 5th November, there will be many Guy Fawkes celebrations in towns across East Sussex, consisting of bonfires and fireworks. If you'd like to find out more about the events taking place where you live, you can do so here.
As you probably know, Lewes is famous for its unforgettable bonfire night celebrations. Whilst this is a night to remember, there are some things to consider for your guests around this time of celebrations.

Bonfires and fireworks are a big part of British celebrations in the weeks leading up to 5th November and thereafter.
However, we are conscious that the noises from these celebrations can resemble the explosions and blasts that they may have experienced in Ukraine.

We hope the celebrations will not cause distress to your guests, and we hope that they are able to get involved and enjoy them in the safety of East Sussex.

Please remember that we ask all hosts to update our online form twice only.
First - When you give us details of everyone aged 16 or over in your household so we can carry out safety checks
Second - please use the form to tell us when your guests arrive. This will help us speed up payments and services that are due.
You only need to do each of these steps once. If you've already updated the form, you do not need to do it again - thank you.
This newsletter is sent to every host (sponsor) in East Sussex who is part of Homes for Ukraine to keep you updated. You can unsubscribe at any time.
We expect to send you a further update next week.
Until then, we'd like to wish you all an enjoyable weekend.
