Bonfire Night

[hendrie10]

Hi all,

Anyone know if there is a firework display in Peckham Rye or Brockwell Park this year?

Cheers,

Paul

Brockwell Park, yes.

What about Blackheath? I heard Southwalk had cut the displays right back

Southwark Guy Fawkes night

5 November 2011

Time: 6pm - 7.30pm

Location: Bermondsey Park

Cost: Free

Southwark Council's traditional firework display in Bermondsey Park.

Set in the stunning 63 acre Bermondsey Park at the south end near the running track.

As well as the much-loved rockets, roman candles and sparklers the council is also set to provide food and novelty stalls, a mulled wine and spiced cider bar and children's funfair rides.

Or in other words set as far away from ED as Southwark council possibly could. Go to Lambeth's Brockwell party instead - that's local.

Yes thanks to James Barber Firework Thief.

Yeah not loving the idea of going to Bermondsey, Brockwell Park it is followed by a pint in the Bishop on the way home :)

Thanks all,

Paul

is 'bermondsey park' really southwark park or is it somewhere else?

[hendrie10]

Yeah I think it is.

[the-e-dealer]

Well it used to be Camberwell.

I noticed today that the fireworks in Battersea Park are charged at ?10 on the gate for 10 yrs and over, with a still whopping ?6 in advance. At least the Southwark ones are free wherever they are in the borough.

To confirm what is called Bermondsey Park on the Southwark website is actually Southwark Park!

Trouble is it was a mud bath and very crowded there last year (The Local Display at the Sports Ground)

[snowy]

But last year was rainy for lots of the month - apart from the last 24 hours the ground is pretty parched. The Muddy Hell event at the velodrome last week had to make the ground muddier in certain places to cope with the dry weather.

And the Sports Ground event wasn't that crowded on the other side of the bonfire last year - people chose to congregate closer to the bars etc. rather than to spread into the field.

Either way, I'll be in Brockwell Park.

Same here, though I hope they've sorted out the way they get people out of the park at the end of the event.

The last time they had a display there it took what seemed like hours to disperse the crowd.

Everybody was trying to cross the main road, there were massive bottlenecks at at least two different gates, and they really should have had police or other officials controlling the traffic at the relevant crossings.

Sorry for tempting fate with the weather comment...

Is your forum name significant?

If it rains or snows we will all blame you :)

And in a tribute to the pagan origins of the night we will burn you inside a wicker cup-cake to appease the rain/snow Gods.
