Cash up: Yes, most places take card now, but you never know and you definitely don’t want to be stranded in a cold field with no way of buying a hot jacket potato.So, make sure you bring plenty of layers, including one that’s preferably waterproof, to avoid a soggy, miserable evening. Wrap up: The unpredictable great British weather rarely ever plays ball.Book in advance: Nearly all of London’s free bonfire celebrations aren’t taking place this year, which means tickets are essential if you want to get a close-up view of the bangs and sparks.As has become the norm, lots of displays get going in the afternoon with funfairs, food stalls and more, making it a proper fun family day out. This year, a lot of the displays are happening over the weekend of November 4-6. Bonfire Night is officially on November 5 every year, and luckily that falls on a Saturday in 2022. When is Bonfire Night in London?Īs the adage goes: remember, remember the fifth of November. Here’s our pick of the best ones in town. Totems of the London firework scene Victoria Park and Blackheath firework displays (both of which were much-loved and free) won’t be going ahead this year and neither will the usual extravaganzas in Crystal Palace Park, Southwark Park and Ravenscourt Park.īut, wherever you live in London, there’ll still be some sparkles to tempt you out into the winter cold. You’ll find sparkles popping up in the night sky all over town this year, albeit minus a few notable exceptions. ![]() And after the wet squib that Bonfire Night’s been after the past two years, we’re ready for it to come back with a bang in 2022. While there are many epic bonfires across the UK, you’ll be hard-pressed to find as many concentrated in the same place as in London. But, we’re fiercely proud of our Catherine Wheel whizzing, sparkler crackling tradition. Ah Bonfire Night, the evening when Brits collectively gather together on a patch of grass in the November evening cold to watch some fireworks and a flaming pile of wood set alight, all in celebration of the time 400 years ago when that guy tried to blow up Parliament.Īnyone from out of town may think Guy Fawkes Night is all a bit strange (and they’d probably be right).
