London's bonfire night fireworks are among the best in the country, and this year they're back with a bang. Accompanying the explosive entertainment are funfair rides, cockle-warming grub, and various other festivities.
Here's our guide to firework displays and bonfire night events across London on and around 5 November 2026 (which, FYI, falls on a Thursday this year, so displays are divided between the nearest two weekends, with a couple on the day itself).
Firework night 2026 displays in central London
For obvious reasons, there aren't that many firework displays and bonfire night events in central London.
CORAM'S FIELDS, BLOOMSBURY: Coram's Fields is a very special park, where adults must be accompanied by a child at all times. On Bonfire Night, it opens its gates to 6,000 people for a FREE firework display. The 18-minute long show is accompanied by funfair rides and food and drink stalls. FREE, 5 November 2026
HARROW FIREWORKS: Byron Park is the location for Harrow Fireworks (which combined with Ruislip for a single event last year, for the first time), an afternoon and evening event incorporating a small fun fair, as well as a bar marquee and a world food arena. That's all open from 12pm, with free entry until 3pm. You'll need a ticket after that, the fireworks sparking up around 7.45pm, intertwined with a Diwali celebration. If you don't book in advance, it's cash only on the gate; no cards, as the event supports the Save Our Cash campaign. 7 November 2026
Firework displays 2026 in north London
ALEXANDRA PALACE FIREWORKS & DRONE FESTIVAL: The daddy of north London bonfire events, Alexandra Palace claims to host the biggest fireworks festival each year. It's not just pyrotechnics though: a drone display usually precedes the fireworks this year at the Fireworks & Drone Festival. That's just a small portion of the event, which in the past has featured Taylor Swift and Dolly Parton tribute acts, a DJ set from DJ Luck and MC Neat, a funfair, ice skating, ghost tours, street food stalls and a German bier festival. All that, plus dreamy views over the London skyline. We'll update this article with 2026 dates and details when announced.
BOUNDS GREEN: The Wild Wolf Explorer Scout Unit in Bounds Green has confirmed that it won't be holding a 2026 fireworks event, but hopes to be back for 2027.

BATTERSEA PARK FIREWORKS: One of the biggest displays in the capital, Battersea Park's fireworks take place across two nights. Full 2026 details haven't been announced at time of writing, but usually, Saturday night is a traditional fireworks event, with bonfire, sing-along fireworks display, and hot food stalls. Sunday night is the family-friendly event — earlier start time, light installation instead of a bonfire, fireworks display and sweet treats at Sweetieland. 7-8 November 2026
MORDEN PARK FIREWORKS: Merton Council runs two official firework shows (get them!), the first being Morden Park fireworks display. There's a food village and funfair on site, and two displays in one night — the earlier is aimed at young families; the latter is more for everyone else. 5 November 2026
WIMBLEDON PARK FIREWORKS: Merton's second display (see Morden Park, above, for the first) is in Wimbledon Park on the Saturday night. It's a similar set-up, with food stalls, a funfair and two different displays in one evening. 7 November 2026
BECKENHAM FIREWORKS 2026: Croydon Road Recreation Ground is the venue for Beckenham's fireworks display, organised by — and raising money for — the 5th Beckenham South Scout Group, alongside other local causes. There's a quieter display for younger children earlier in the evening, followed by the biggie. Both are set to music. There are also funfair rides and over 20 food stalls. 7 November 2026
DULWICH FIREWORKS: The 'kids for a quid' offer is back for the fireworks at Dulwich Sports Club — making it popular with local families. The 20-minute display is accompanied by the likes of burgers, Indian and pizza — washed down with ale or mulled wine. Live music kicks off at 5.30pm, with the fireworks display at 7pm. 7 November 2026

STOW FIREWORK SPECTACULAR: Stow Firework Spectacular at Walthamstow Cricket, Tennis and Squash Club takes place across three nights again this year, due to the huge demand in previous years. All nights have a quieter children's display followed by a full display, around which there are fire performers, games, a funfair and refreshment stalls. 5, 6, and 7 November 2026

RICHMOND FIREWORKS 2026: Richmond's annual family fireworks are back at Richmond Athletic Ground. As well as the choreographed display, the event includes funfair rides, and food and drink stalls. 1 November 2026
The below Fireworks Night displays and events happened last year. We're hoping they'll be back for 2026, and will update this page as soon as we know more.
EALING FIREWORKS: Ealing Cricket Club offers a fireworks display set to pop tunes. The display is at 7.45pm but gates open at 6pm, with children's rides and refreshment stalls to get stuck into before and after the pyrotechnics. The DJ keeps the party going after the last rocket has exploded, too.
TOTTERIDGE FIREWORKS NIGHT: The gates open at 5.30pm at Totteridge Millhillians Cricket Club, for what promises to be a marathon sesh: dive into the food stalls/kids rides, ahead of the bonfire lighting at 6.30pm, and fireworks at 7.45pm. But the night has only just begun; bars, bands and fire pits keep the bonhomie blazing right through to 1am! This one's card only, no cash.
MORE EALING FIREWORKS: A week after Ealing Cricket Club lights up the night sky (see above), the Brentham Club in Ealing gets in on the action, with an evening of fireworks, street food, fairground rides, mulled wine and funky tunes. Gates are at 5pm, and there's a children's disco either side of the main event, taking place around 7pm.
HENDON FIREWORKS: The Saracens' StoneX Stadium in Hendon opens its gates at 4.30pm, with the display starting at 6.30pm.
SOUTHGATE FIREWORKS: Head to The Walker Ground sports complex for Southgate's fireworks, complete with rides, inflatables and warming refreshments.
BLACKHEATH FIREWORKS: For the first time since 2018, the Blackheath Fireworks display is back (it was planned in 2019 but never went ahead due to financial restraints). Lewisham Council announced in July 2025 that it will partner with "a leading events company" to make the display happen.
DANSON PARK FIREWORKS: Welling Round Table's fireworks display takes place in Danson Park, Bexley, raising money for local causes. Further details TBC soon but if it's anything like last year, expect a 20-minute spectacular over the park's lake, choreographed to music.
BROMLEY FIREWORKS: Bromley High School's grounds host a firework display for the fifth time, organised by the Parents' Association, along with funfair rides, food stalls and a bar.
BARNES BONFIRE NIGHT: Barnes Village cooks up a night of cockle-warming entertainment with hot dogs, mulled wine, a competition for best Guy (winner gets to light the bonfire), sparklers and glow sticks for sale, and of course, a cracking fireworks display. Tickets are only available online, with money going towards Barnes Sports Club.
