Things to do on Bonfire Night in London

London’s skyline is set to be more breath-taking than ever on Bonfire Night, also called Guy Fawkes Night! With a multitude of firework displays taking place across the city, the sky will be alive with colour as we mark the Gunpowder Plot of 1605 that must never be forgotten.

1. Alexandra Palace Fireworks Festival

With fabulous views of London, the Firework Festival hosted at Alexandra Palace, on Saturday 5th November 2022, is always a lively affair. The audience is in for a real treat. First, they will witness an epic laser show before the main display even begins. If that wasn’t enough, there’s a German Bier Festival, a fairground, performers breathing fire and the ice disco, an ice skating rink where you can dance. 
If you get a bit peckish, be sure to visit one of the many street food stalls on offer! Alexandra Palace welcomes those of all ages to the event, so purchase your ticket before it’s too late.

2. Wimbledon Park and Morden Park Fireworks

Take your children to enjoy a colourful show full of majestic fireworks explosions. The second show has a Kings and Queens music theme.
A funfair, refreshments and a bar will add a little extra to your experience. The shows will return on Friday 4th November 2022 at Wimbledon Park and Saturday 5th November 2022 at Morden Park.
