It has been dubbed “the Glastonbury of fireworks displays”, and for good reason. Each November, the grounds of Alexandra Palace are transformed into a sea of live music, food, cinema, rides, and of course, a glittering display of fireworks.
This year, the event is back and bigger than ever. Taking place on November 5, Ally Pally will play host to an exciting line-up of activities, including a live DJ set from none other than fashion mogul Gok Wan. Tickets are on sale now.
Simon Fell, Alexandra Palace’s Fireworks Festival director, said of the evening’s return: “We cannot wait to welcome everyone to this year’s Fireworks Festival. We’re going big, with a packed programme featuring all the classics, a sensational display, massive bonfire, plus plenty of extras we add on to bring a proper festival vibe.”
