Ally Pally fireworks is set for Saturday November 7 and Sunday November 8 at Alexandra Palace, with tickets from £11.50. The north London event is one of the major London Bonfire Night weekend bookings still open, even as several local shows have already sold out.
Hundreds of fireworks will fly over north London on both days, with drones also throwing shapes in the sky. The bill is built for people who want more than a simple display: a roaring bonfire, a German beer festival, an ice rink and Barrioke are all part of the draw.
Shaun Williamson at Barrioke
Shaun Williamson, the EastEnders star, will join Barrioke at Alexandra Palace. That gives the weekend a recognisable name beyond the pyrotechnics, and it broadens the event’s appeal for anyone weighing up where to spend a Bonfire Night budget.
Tickets for Alexandra Palace start from £11.50, which keeps the entry point low for a two-day run. For readers trying to decide quickly, the practical detail is simple: both Saturday and Sunday are on sale, and the pricing starts well below what many major city events typically ask for a full evening out.
London dates after November 5
Bonfire Night falls on November 5, but this show lands on Saturday November 7 and Sunday November 8, alongside Battersea Park’s two evenings of celebrations. That weekend timing matters because it gives Londoners a second chance to mark the tradition, which began as a commemoration of the failure of the Gunpowder Plot, without forcing everything into one night.
Coram’s Fields in Camden, Dulwich and Walthamstow Cricket Club have all sold out, so Alexandra Palace is now part of the slimmer group of options still available in London. For anyone booking late, the move is straightforward: choose between Saturday and Sunday at Alexandra Palace, then decide whether the fireworks, drones, bonfire, beer festival and Barrioke justify the trip north.
With several London displays already gone, Alexandra Palace looks like the clearest remaining ticketed option for a full Bonfire Night weekend outing. The only detail buyers still need to work out is how quickly the cheaper tickets disappear across the two dates.
