Stillington Bonfire
Held each year in celebration of
this infamous former resident of York, Stillington bonfire has been organised
and run by residents for more than 30 years. The event is widely recognised to
be one of the best organised public bonfires in the area. The whole process
starts early in the Autumn, when the organising committee gather to plan the
event, and on the day, there is an organised collection of combustible material
from around the village. Building the fire and setting up the field sees a hive
of activity throughout the village. The evening commences with a torch-lit
procession from the Village Hall to the bonfire, headed by the Guy and the sound
of marching music. The fire is lit, the food is served and a spectacular display
of fireworks rounds off a wonderful day, weather gods permitting. New residents
are most welcome to come and join in any aspect of this most enjoyable event.
