Dates from East Sussex Fire & Rescue's county calendar (3 Sep 2026). It covers East Sussex only, so Brighton & Hove's nights aren't here. “Society confirms” means the society's own site gives the same date. Distances are as the crow flies from the town centre, worked out from OS Open Names via postcodes.io.

Private fireworks aren't on any list, and dates can change. Check the society's site on the day.
