The Chiddingford Bonfire distributes 400 wax candle torches sold on a first-come, first-served basis at £6 each. Once all the torches have been handed out and lit, the procession is led by a mobile p.a system along the road system and onto the village green where the torch carriers are marshalled around the exterior of the exclusion zone (roped off area) until all members of the torch procession are around the fire.
At that time the fire is lit with the torches and once again the torch-bearers are marshalled away from the area using three-metre wide exit zones which are moveable based upon the wind direction. After the fire has been lit the exclusion zone remains in place and is marshalled at all times to ensure that no member of the public will go inside the zone.
This event is free to attend.
