http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth Bringing you the (almost) everyday comings and goings of the residents of Beckworth, a typical English market town. Informing you about their lives through the mediums of words, images, an interactive map and stereophonic sound recordings Sun, 01 Feb 2026 00:56:14 +0000 en-US hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/mayor-gary-grimsby/remember-remember-the-5th-of-november-is-actually-happening-on-the-8th/ http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/mayor-gary-grimsby/remember-remember-the-5th-of-november-is-actually-happening-on-the-8th/#comments Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:10:37 +0000 a resident of Beckworth http://visitbeckworth.co.uk/life-in-beckworth/?p=4286 Continue reading →]]> Hello all. Just a reminder that Beckworth’s bonfire celebrations will be happening on Saturday 8th not tomorrow night. Attractions will include an unlit bonfire (due to health and safety concerns), a candle-lit choir, vegetarian hot-dog stand and an effigy of Guy Fawkes lovingly made from bottle tops by the local branch of Alcoholics Anonymous. At 6.45 there will be a talk on the history of fireworks and stuff by Brian Cox (weather permitting) and for the under-5s the Peppa Pig band will be hosting an open-air festival. The main event will of course be local celeb Nick Clegg setting off over a dozen large “pet friendly” silent fireworks (due to health and safety concerns raised by the RSPCA). Also, not to be missed at 7.30 the Beckworth & Crewbury Historical Re-enactors will be staging the gun powder plot again this year (complete with horses, false-beards and real gun powder) in the scout hut, hopefully without the fire damage incurred last year. So see you there! G. Grimsby. Mayor
