Fireworks displays this year

[Marmite-love]

My daughter's father (who I am separated from) is taking her to see Fireworks on Saturday November 5th at DPL School. I know she will have a great time as she loves fireworks.

I'd love to see her little face light up with excitement too. Does anyone know if there are any local displays either on Friday 4th or Sunday 6th November? It's a little more tricky this year as Guy Fawks' night actually falls on a Saturday so I'm not sure if there's a demand for displays on any other days.

Thanks, as ever, for any responses.

Although she had asked specifically for events not on the 5th....

Seems like fairly slim pickings, mainly because it falls on a Saturday this year:

Hence 'also'. Given the generic title of the thread, I thought I might add useful information for those simply looking for info on fireworks displays.

Looking for something not on the 5h. Thank you.!!

Hi Marmite, I've posted on your thread in the Family Room. The Lord Mayor's show is a week later and that includes fireworks at 5.30pm.

Marmite-Love, I know it's not local and not sure if you would travel to North London, but Alexandra Palace is having fireworks on Friday and Saturday the 4th and 5th November.

You can check out the website here : http://www.fireworks.london/

Where is the cheapest ? - And how do I book if online

[DulwichFox]

Making Displays ticket only and indeed charging and restricting numbers will no doubt mean more people will be having Fireworks at home in unsuitable surroundings.. Expect more accidents and a bigger strain on our Fire Services..

Bit left-field Marmite-love (great name) but I'm sure lots of private displays as well as some public ones will be taking place on the Friday, why not take some warm food and drinks, and maybe a few sparklers, somewhere up high - Crystal Palace or Telegraph Hill? - where you have a view over London and watch them all. It can be pretty spectacular.

Hope you find something anyway.

If you go up to Dawson Heights you get a view of lots of firework displays across London - and a fabulous sparkly view of the city by night....

Dress warmly, take sparklers, a Thermos of hot drink and.... enjoy!

Telegraph Hill is great for fireworks too! Amazing views and good crowd. Enjoy!

Corams Fields in central London have a free display on Friday 4th - display is at 5.15pm http://www.coramsfields.org/?q=node/292

Might be a bit much after school but if she's not school age yet it could be good

Due to the fireworks display in Southwark Park there are some nearby road closures. My friend lives nearby. They are not allowed to leave or enter their close by car between 4 & 9pm, No visitors, no deliveries, no taxis, no CARS. Its her birthday and she can't have visitors popping round. If anyone needs to arrive or leave you need to give your vehicle details and proof of address to the council prior to the event. The council said you can try and park half a mile away if you arrive in the area after the closures.

Last year their were several nasty altercations with stewards: One lady was trying to collect her distressed young daughter from the train station. Another was not allowed to leave on a mercy dash to elderly relatives etc ..... and someones shopping couldn't be delivered. TOO MUCH FUSS MADE OVER THIS "TICKETED" EVENT.

In contrast the Shine Walk for cancer with thousands of participants had little impact on the area, just some park entrances/ car park closed.
