Alexandra Palace Fireworks Festival will be returning on Friday 3rd and Saturday 4th November, in case you have any Bonfire Night/autumn preview slots in which it might be included. We would be delighted to offer press access to the Festival so you can come down and enjoy it first-hand!
Firmly established as one of the biggest and best fireworks events in the country, this year’s Festival will include a stunning programme of live music, DJ sets and entertainment spread across the Park and Palace’s 196 acres, culminating in an epic fireworks display above the iconic Palace hill view.
The Park will also play host to a huge bonfire, funfair and entertainment for all the family, including mind-blowing lightning magic from Lords of Lightning, among others. Meanwhile, over in the StrEATlife Festival Village, you’ll find over 35 of London’s top street food vendors, craft beer bars and cocktails. Live performers and resident DJs will be providing the atmosphere, with the legendary Fat Tony headlining the packed bill on Friday and UK garage pioneer DJ Spoony taking up the mantle on the Saturday.
Visitors can also step inside the Palace, with the ice rink featuring a variety of skating sessions and an ice disco. The Great Hall will be transformed into the UK’s largest German Bier Festival, with music coming from the likes of Joel Coombes, Elton John tribute act (Friday) and Rogue Minogue (Saturday).
With Alexandra Palace celebrating its 150th anniversary in 2023, this year’s event continues the tradition of spectacular displays held in the grounds of the Palace, dating back to the late nineteenth century. This has included astonishing recreations of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in The Last Days of Pompeii and Destruction of the Spanish Armada on the boating lake.
