On Friday 1 November and Saturday 2 November, Ally Pally’s Fireworks Festival will return to the Park and Palace for two nights of spectacular entertainment and celebrations, which we hope you will be able to join us for!

Hosting a festival across the Park and Palace requires some temporary closures and changes to roads, the park and public transport. Details are listed below.

As a charity we rely on events like our Fireworks Festival to raise funds that we reinvest into caring for the Park and Palace, so that they are here for the enjoyment and benefit of all, forever. We are proud that in recent years the Festival has developed into one of the most popular fireworks events in the country.

Thank you in advance for your support.

The Park will be closed from 2pm on Thursday 31 October until 3pm on Sunday 3 November. The Grove will be open throughout (NB: exit/entrance via our Muswell Hill only, no through route into the rest of the Park via The Grove).

If you are attending the event, please be aware there are a number of entrances/exits to the Park that will not be open as usual, see our map for more information.

The W3 bus will be on diversion from 2pm on Thursday 31 October until 3pm on Sunday 3 November whilst the Park is closed.

The 184 bus will be temporarily diverted via Park Avenue and Bounds Green Road on the evening of Friday 1 November and Saturday 2 November to facilitate visitors leaving the event.
