    Dawn Sperring, co-owner of The Chilli Pickle, said: “We’re delighted to be the official restaurant partner for Burning the Clocks 2016 and can’t wait to be a part of their first ever after party. With over 20,000 people expected for the annual Burning the Clocks event but only 200 tickets available for the official after party, these tickets are likely to sell fast.”

    About Burning the Clocks

    Burning the Clocks first began in 1993. The event is an uplifting antidote to the excesses of a commercial Christmas. People bring the paper and willow lanterns that they’ve made to parade through the city before passing them into a huge bonfire on Brighton beach. Each lantern maker becomes a part of the show as they invest the lanterns with their wishes, hopes, and fears and then pass them into the fire.
