Fireworks & Drone Festival - Information for Neighbours
On Saturday 7 November and Sunday 8 November, Ally Pally’s Fireworks & Drone Festival will return to the Park and Palace.
Hosting the festival across the Park and Palace requires some temporary closures and changes to roads, the park and public transport. Details are listed below. If you are coming to the Festival, read our event visitor information before you set off.
As a charity we rely on events like our Fireworks & Drone 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 the Festival is enjoyed by so many people in our community, and in recent times has developed into one of the most popular events of its kind in the country.
Thank you in advance for your support.
