The bonfire societies and bands will process down the High Street round the Abbey Green, lighting the BBB emblem lance frame, to the Station where they will turn around. The procession returns up the high street to the abbey green where they light the traditional bonfire; during which time there will be an aerial firework display. When the Boyes light the Bonfire they drop small bunches of flowers with fireworks in them into the fire as a tribute to the Bonfire Boyes who are no longer with us.
The procession then moves up the High Street, round the market square roundabout, retorch at firestation, and back down the high street and through the gatehouse to the battlefield and the bonfire site.
Please note when the procession goes into the Abbey Gatehouse it will be going onto the Battlefield, IT WILL NOT BE COMING BACK OUT, THE CROWD MUST WALK DOWN THE MAIN ROAD ON THEIR OWN AND CANNOT FOLLOW THE PROCESSION.
