Set against unrivalled panoramic views over London, this is THE capital’s hottest bonfire night. What’s more, you can build your own personalised experience. Simply add on what you fancy doing that night (on top of watching the fireworks, of course!) – whether that’s catching a movie in their gorgeous Victorian Theatre, a bit of ice-disco, or German biers, among many other options.
PS: tickets are running low for the aforementioned German Bier Festival (which features an Oompah Band and an Elvis Presley tribute show). Can’t say they didn’t warn you!
On Saturday 5 November experience foot-stomping live music, a taste of Bavaria at the UK’s largest German bier festival headlined with a tribute to Elvis Presley, a legendary DJ set in the StrEATlife village from Gok Wan, a whizz around the ice rink to a disco soundtrack, cinema screenings in their Victorian theatre and, last but not least, lighting up the London skyline with their legendary fireworks display!
Display and Laser Show
8pm
Boom! No-one does fireworks quite like Ally Pally. We’ve been letting off zingers, sending up sky rockets and spinning Catherine wheels into London’s heavens for over 150 years. Watch the capital’s skyline sizzle and whizzle from the most spectacular vantage point imaginable, sound-tracked by a specially curated playlist, and bring a pocketful of OOOHHHs and AAAHHHs.
German Bier Festival
4pm – 10:45pm
Make it a bonfire night to remember and add German Bier Festival tickets to your Fireworks experience as, once again, Ally Pally plays host to the UK’s largest bier festival. Don your Lederhosen and join them in the Great Hall for a night of the best beer this side of Munich, delivered straight to your table, complete with a tribute to Elvis Presley plus a superb Covers Band and London’s pop institution Club De Fromage on the decks, bringing you sing-along anthems and solid gold party bangers all through the night!
Limited tickets available (purchase in advance with your main ticket) — remember to show up in good time for a great spot! Over 18’s only.
Bonfire
They don’t want to blow their own trumpet but their bonfire’s bigger than your bonfire. In fact, it’s the largest for miles around. Come and join them in the lower field for the grand lighting of the bonfire to kick off the proceedings.
Cinema
The Lego Movie film starts 5.45pm
Shaun of the Dead film starts 9pm
New to this year they invite you to cosy up in their beautiful Victorian cinema. For the little ones (and not so little ones), you can look forward to the LEGO movie in the afternoon, before things get ooky spooky AND funny with Shaun of the Dead in the evening. They’re coming to get you, Barbara!
Fire Show
Tottenham based Chivaree Circus are a high-impact performance company bringing an exceptional cast of fire, light and pyro artistes to amaze and delight. Festival goers can gather for an in-the-round display, eye-catching LED hoop artists, daring fire fans and sensational costumes that are literally alight! Featuring a pyrotechnic finale, they’ll be performing at various times in the Family Area before the main display, don’t miss out!
Family Area
The family area returns to this year’s Fireworks Festival with oodles of space more than previous years to host a funfair, bars, the bonfire and a thrilling fire show.
Take a nostalgic ride on the dodgems and waltzers or for the less daring visitors, there’s always the trusty tea cups. Keep warm in the chilly November air and join them in a special ceremony to light the bonfire. Fire performers will bring theatrics to the ceremony in what promises to be one of the highlights of the festival.
StrEATlife Village FT. Gok Wan
The StrEATlife Village will play host to a live DJ set from renowned fashion-guru, much-loved DJ and all-round national treasure Gok Wan. Dance the night away as Gok Wan brings your favourite club classics, party-starting soul and uplifting house to the StrEAtlife tent.
Serious fun requires serious food, so at the StrEATlife Village you’ll find over 35 of London’s top street food vendors, craft beer bars, cocktails and all sorts of tasty treats to keep you dancing the night away.
One Night of Elvis
Fans of the King of Rock n Roll won’t want to miss One Night of Elvis starring Lee Memphis King, Europe’s most successful Elvis Presley tribute act. Recreating the iconic ‘Vegas Years’ from 1969 – 1977, Lee Memphis King will perform many of Elvis’s legendary hit songs alongside an orchestra of world-class musicians and backing vocalists.
Please note that the One Night of Elvis show will take place inside the German Bier Festival. You will not be able to see the show without a German Bier Fest ticket. Limited tickets available (purchase in advance with your main ticket) — remember to show up in good time for a great spot!
