Anyone knows where will be the fireworks display 2013 ?

[DulwichFox]

Haven't been to Blackheath for some time.

It was a good display but was short. like a 10-15 min blast then over.

Was an absolute nightmare getting back home to E.D.

Traffic chaos. No chance of getting a bus. Need to walk to New Cross.

Brockwell Park is by far the best option 20min walk home...

True it can be a night mare getting out of the park. :(

Yes, we walked home as well.

In fact I think we may have walked there too, as we gave up on the bus as they were all so full.

Pubs around the park all heaving before and after - memo to self: remember the Stella :))

Anyone been to the Beckenham one before? We're looking for one to go to on the Saturday night..Dulwich Sports Club still advertising last years on their website so guessing there's not one this year?

[the-e-dealer]

No Dulwich Sports Club IS doing one.

We usually go to Brockwell. We drive to around half way down Half Moon Lane and walk the rest of the way.

We've never been to the sports club one, is the fiver just for entry? Is it extra for BBQ?

Thanks!

Its extra for food. And anything you pay for has nightmare long queues but the fireworks are great.

[Vik]

Thank you TED :-)

The Dulwich sports club one sounds great - separate area for children and even separate snacks bar for them where they can get drinks, food and sparklers :)

I saw it advertised in SE22 magazine tho wasn't altogether clear so thanks for posting address busymum!

p.s. I think you pay for most nowadays - I don't mind as saves me buying them and also far safer than having them in back garden!!

Dulwich Sports Club also have a display this Saturday 2nd November:

Went there all excited but there was nothing going on at all. Shame i got little one and hubby so excited about it...

Read the date! Its next week - strange I agree!

According to Time Out, Brockwell Park has "a display themed around the four seasons, created by the team behind the London Olympics fireworks.

There will also be a funfair, stalls, music, food and drink - and Fireman Sam will be on hand with fire safety advice. The organisers have promised an extra-special finale but the details are under wraps."

5 - 10pm, November 5. Free entry.

There's another thread on here saying that the junction at Brockwell Park will be closed to traffic that evening. Not sure how far down the 37 will go before it's diverted, but maybe best to walk (or drive part of the way and walk the rest) as the buses will be very crowded anyway if last year is anything to go by.

At Crystal Palace Park " a children's display at 7pm will be followed by the main show, set to music, at 8.30pm. There will also be a kids' funfair and food stalls."

Also November 5. Adults ?6, children 3 - 10 ?4, under-threes free.

Limited car parking ?5.

Southwark Park - "A traditional fireworks display, with hot food and drinks for sale".

November 5. 5 - 8.30pm. I presume it's free, but it doesn't say.

Anyone happen to know where within Brockwell Park the fireworks are actually displayed, and/or where the viewing areas are?

Last year they were on the slope going up to the Herne House - parallel to Dulwich Road.
