Where To Go To Make Your Bonfire Night Go With A Bang!
‘If you can’t be first, be best’, so we’ve decided be first and get in early with a guide for where to book this bonfire night. In just under a month we’ll all be huddling in the freezing cold, clutching sparklers in our mittens. And here are the best places to do just so:
Bishop's Park
When: Saturday 2nd November
Bishop’s Park, in Fulham, will be cranking up the family fun on Guy-Fawkes-minus-three. The 2nd November event will see a spectacular of fireworks with a children’s display at quarter past seven ahead of the main display at eight. Meaning you can slip away with your little ones before the traffic goes nuts. Or you can just take them to the funfair or browse the shops.

Blackheath
When: Saturday 2nd November
The one thing that Blackheath won’t be come November 3rd is black, instead it’ll be bathed in the multi-coloured hues of truck-loads of fireworks all set off for the 80,000 punters who regularly turn up to this extravaganza. The funfair starts around midday, so you really can make an afternoon and evening out of it, with foodstalls and traders cranking things up from around 5pm before the main event come 8 o’clock.
