Ally Pally’s Fireworks Festival
Every year, tens of thousands of revellers descend on the grounds of Ally Pally for their iconic fireworks display, which dates back a whopping 150 years. It’s the biggest fireworks festival in London, complete with music, a drone light show, an ice rink, a funfair, and a huge bonfire. Visitors can also get merry at the UK’s largest German-style beer tent, and feast on food from one of the many street food stalls. And if that all sounds a little rowdy, there’s a quieter, family event for kids on the Sunday with an earlier fireworks time of 6pm.
Details:Â Saturday 7 November and Sunday 8 November 2026Â at Alexandra Park & Palace (Alexandra Palace Way, London N22 7AY). Prices start at ÂŁ6.50pp.
Fireworks In The Park, Morden & Wimbledon
Wimbledon Park’s annual musical firework display will return on Thursday 5 November, with two showings: the family-friendly earlier fireworks at 6.45pm, and a later display at 8.30pm. Plus there’s a street food village and funfair to enjoy on site. If you’re unable to make the actual Bonfire night display, head to the sister event at Morden Park on 7 November, again with two showings at 6.45pm and 8.30pm.
