and live on Freeview channel 276
Earlier this month a bonfire measuring over 200ft was constructed, but an adjudicator did not attend the site.
Commenting on social media on Tuesday, July 26, a spokesperson for the bonfire builders said: “We learn by our mistakes and now we know as a committee what it takes to build the bonfire this height.

“We have to respect Guinness World Records as these are their requirements.”
Ahead of this year’s fire being lit, bonfire builders at the Craigyhill site vowed to keep constructing the pyre in memory of John Steele following his death at the nearby Antiville bonfire site.
