Meet Ellie Carter, the 14-year-old girl who just became Britain’s youngest pilot

The trees that will be the masts and the main structure of the Mayflower started to be felled on 4th December. RHS Rosemoor had to fell several trees on their land for safety reasons and they have donated then to us.

We will be shifting them to the bonfire site soon.

Thank you so much to the RHS for their support.

TDC have now granted the planning permission for our 2020 bonfire and are refunding the fee to us, so we are OK to go for the build start Easter 2018.

Thank you.

We are delighted to announce that we have come to agreement with some of our suppliers for the sponsorship / support for Bonfire 2020. We are really please that these organisations are helping because we would be unable to stage such an event without their valued help which in turn allows us to raise money for charity. Thank you.

A spectacular bonfire is being planned in North Devon for the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s historic journey to America.

The Plymouth Mayflower started their official launch this weekend exactly 3 years from the 400 year commemoration in 2020 and the PR will be ramped up. We have their Facebook page at the bottom of our website home page and their website is www.mayflower400uk.org

We have just decided on the main beneficiaries for the next major bonfire - Mayflower 400 in 2020. This time there will be 4 main organisations each receiving 10% of the monies raised with the remaining 60% being shared out to those that respond to the post bonfire invite in the local press.

We are very please to announce the following organisations who do a fantastic job will benefit from 40% of our bonfire monies:

Our good fried Damien Stacey drew this impression of what the next fire will look like. It will be a full size replica of the Mayflower in port with strategic building from Plymouth around it (yet to be confirmed). We will update this further as we get more information
