Burning the Clocks

Burning the Clocks is a unique community event held on the 21st of December, created by Same Sky, that brings the whole city together to mark the shortest day of the year. Local people make their own paper and willow lanterns, using our kits, and after parading through the city, they pass them into a blazing bonfire on Brighton beach, as a token of the year’s end.

Burning the Clocks is a lively celebration of the turning of the year but also a time for reflection and thought, who are we? Where have we been? Where are we going? What do we want for our City?

Burning the Clocks receives no guaranteed funding and our crowdfunder is a vital part of keeping this event alive, their are some great rewards for donations, including personalised lanterns for the parade, VIP viewing tickets, Burning the Clocks limited edition prints by Graham Carter and gifts from local restaurants and artists.
