Yeah, it's a really good non/anti-commercial celebration for the
winter solstice - billed as 'the antidote to the excesses of
commercial Christmas'. Started only about 15 years ago by a local arts
group - although many people will tell you it's a pagan celebration
that's been in Brighton for hundreds of years! :-S
It's a really nice night, about 3000 in the parade this year
apparently. The theme this year is re-building Babel - rebuilding
communication.

Done mine a couple weeks ago, built a very 'interesting' (as in shit) Ziggurat.

See you there!

p.s. don't forget to put a quid in the collections box if you like the show :-)
