TALKS are still ongoing to determine where this year’s Battle bonfire will take place.

Battel Bonfire Boyes are currently locked in discussions with landowners and the emergency services over where to put the firesite this year.

Last year BBB were forced to find a new firesite at the eleventh hour after heavy rain and the annual 1066 re-enactment took its toll on the battlefield.

A scaled-back bonfire took place on the Abbey Green.

In a bid to keep crowd numbers down, visitors from outside the area were discouraged from attending.

The event was hailed a success with some branding it ‘the best bonfire since ‘95’ - the last time it was held on the Green.
