Taking Bonfire Night to the max, the classic Ally Pally fireworks display has been running for over 150 years.
What to expect at the Alexandra Palace Fireworks Festival 2025
Park entry is from 6pm on Friday and 4pm on Saturday. The spectacular bonfire will be lit in the lower field at around 6pm and is a great place to keep warm while you await the fireworks; there will be a funfair where you can buy tickets for rides on the night, plus a spectacular drone show back for 2025. This year there is a Halloween-themed fireworks and drone display, created especially for the occasion, with bonfires in the lower field, a ghost tour of the Victorian Theatre, and a Halloween fancy dress competition with fantastic prizes to be won.
Streatlife Village is back and bigger than ever, with over fifty food trucks and bars dishing up a whole range of street food plus craft beer and cocktails, London’s best street food vendors and sets from 90s garage icons DJ Luck & MC Neat, while the Great Hall hosts a banging bierkeller with Oompah and tribute bands. Down in the Café de Pally, the Rhythm of the 90s will keep the energy high with live throwback anthems all night long.
There’s a funfair for kids af all ages, and ice discos where you can show off your moves.
Alexandra Palace Fireworks Festival tickets
Earlybird tickets are available online now, with a regular adult ticket priced at just £15.50. There are also savings to be had on kids’ tickets, the Bier Festival and the ice skating.
London’s biggest bier festival
The Bier Festival begins at 4pm, with over 6000 revellers being served by waitresses in ‘traditional’ Bavarian costumes. A host of musical entertainers will take to the stage including tribute acts – Taylor Swift on Friday and Dolly Parton on Saturday – plus the obligatory oompah band.
Earlybird Bier festival tickets will cost you an additional £14.00 on top of the general admission fireworks ticket and don’t guarantee a seat. This part of the festival is 18+ only, so don’t forget your ID.
Ice Skating
Ice skating sessions are on the indoor ice rink and are for one hour; times vary but both days finish with an ice disco.
Tickets for both the Bier Festival and ice skating can be added at the online checkout.
