Some of the creatures, created by students at East Sussex College Lewes escaped last night and could be found roaming New Road #Brighton#burningtheclocks#allcreatures
The Beast - based on traditional 'wilder man' costumes of Europe. Completion revealed next year when the beast is out before being burnt at BTC 2022.

We wanted this year's theme to be inclusive & open to interpretation. We’re all creatures just like the otter & starfish, & these new eyes should guide our thoughts around climate change, compassion for our neighbours & the value of green spaces, clean air and shared experiences.
Burning the Clocks is back and lantern kits will be on sale this weekend from our lovely friends at
Hisbe, Brighton
Book Nook, Hove
